sync_saves

A tool to synchronize saves from games not supporting Steam Cloud

Dependencies

• rsync
• sudo

Prerequisites

1. Ensure your are registered in the sudoers list
2. Export the address of your SMB share where you want to sync the saves to SYNC_SAVES_SERVER, without the double backslash (\\) (e.g.: export SYNC_SAVES_SERVER="192.168.1.80/Documents").
3. Create a .smbcredentials file in your home folder containing the credentials for your SMB share. It should follow this syntax:

   username=<your username>
   password=<your password>
   #Optional:
   #domain=<your domain>
   

4. Ensure /mnt/saves is not already in use for another purpose. If it does not exist, the script will create it automatically

Additional information

• A "Saves" folder will be created at the share specified.
• The SMB share will be unmounted automatically after the script ends.
