Keep old versions of saved games when these are overwritten
Keep old versions of saved games when these are overwritten
It could happen that you overwrite your savegame to find out that you didn't want to overwrite it. But compared to all modern hard drives and even flash drives the savegames are so tiny that everyone could afford keeping several versions as backup. For example some utility could be set to keep unlimoted old versions of all .ck1, .ck2, .ck3, .ck4, .ck5, .ck6 files and use up 1 GB disk space for this purpose. Is there any such utility for Windows? Linux (Ubuntu)? Mac? Thank you for your suggestions!

On Windows, File History (for nontechnical end-users) or the Volume Shadow Copy Service (for developers) do what you want.
Dropbox, which works on every major platform, keeps every version of each file around for 30 days.
