Automatic Backups For Schedule I

Automatically backs-up your save files every time you save.

Allows you to recover from disaster!

There are builds for both the main (IL2cpp) and alternate (Mono) branches of the game.

Installation

1. Requires MelonLoader, so install that if you haven't already.
2. Extract the .zip and copy the appropriate .dll file to the Mods folder in your Schedule I installation.
   1. If you're on the main branch (haven't changed to "alternate" in Steam) you'll want the IL2Cpp version.
   2. If you're on the alternate branch, you'll want the Mono version.

Usage

Every time you save your game, this mod exports your save to a timestamped .zip file.

To load a previous save, just click Restore on the Continue screen in Schedule I and select the backup you want to restore.

Notes:

• Backups are local only and not synced with the Steam cloud.
• Backups can also be loaded with the import button on the continue screen if you want to load them in a different save slot. They can be found alongside your other saves in a folder called Backups.
• Untested in Mac or Linux.

Settings

You can change the settings for this mod through the settings menu when you first load the game up. Just click the Backups tab.

Delete Old Backups

You can configure the mod to automatically delete the oldest backups once a certain limit has been reached. You can turn this feature on or off and the available range is between 25 - 250 in increments of 5. I recommend leaving this setting off or setting the limit very high; it's not always obvious right-away if the game has bugged your save.

When you first load a save slot, you can check the MelonLoader console to see how much disk space your backups are taking up. It's pretty negligible in my experience.

AutoSave

The mod can automatically save your progress if some amount of time passes since your last save. The timer resets on every save.

Auto-saves are also backed up. The filenames are prepended with "auto_" so it's easy to find and restore your last manual save if you'd like.

By default, autosaving is enabled and the timer is set to 10 minutes. You can enable or disable this feature and adjust the time before saving anywhere between 1 and 60 minutes.

Like it?

Consider coming back to give this mod a thumbs-up. That will help other players find it and hopefully prevent more save-related disasters! Most importantly, it helps my ego.
