Backup across multiple devices

[TotesFab]

Hi,

I use Ludasavi with GDrive. My saves are backed up to Google on both my desktop and laptop, but I don't use the same Windows account name for both. When I try to restore a game from Desktop to my Laptop, ludusavi extension doesn't see it. My assumption is because games saves in My Documents are using different paths like "C:/Users/TotesFab/My Documents/" and "C:/Users/TotallyFab/My Documents"

Is there a way to make this use case work? Currently I am trying to play the GOG version of Battle Brothers so I can't use steam cloud saves.

-Edit- I know I can just copy and paste the files into the proper places, but I was hoping for an easier way

Hi! You can do this by configuring redirects in Ludusavi.

For example, on the computer where you use TotesFab as your username, you could add this redirect:

This says: "Whenever you're about to restore a file to C:/Users/TotallyFab, actually restore it to C:/Users/TotesFab instead".

Thank you! I will try this out. I didn't if this was a ludusavi thing or the playnite extension and was nervous. I appreciate you helping me out regardless.

No worries! I maintain both projects, so I'll see it either way 🙃

I'll close this for now, but feel free to respond here if you run into any issues or have further questions.

So I just wanted to update the ticket for those who see this in the future, lol.

I actually was using the same Windows Account for both machines so something else was wrong. I forgot to go into the Restore tab of Ludusavi and tell it to restore from Gdrive. I also double checked that Ludusavi saw Battle Brothers in both sections. Now it works.
