Short bat file for one click to make a back up save for your save games.

Create a folder somewhere to backup your saves. In that folder create a text file and rename it "SH3Backup.bat"

Open it in Notepad and copy the following text.

Replace the part with "yourusernamehere" with whatever your windows username is.

echo off

set folder=%date:~10,4%_%date:~4,2%_%date:~7,2%_%time: ~0,2%%time:~3,2%
set folder=%folder: =0%
mkdir %folder%

echo %folder% created

xcopy "C:\Users\yourusernamehere\Documents\A22\data\cfg" %folder% /E
^^^this is my save game location^^^^

Your save game location might be located somewhere eles.

So now on my desktop I have one button I click(to save) and one folder on my desktop where these ( save game files ) are copied into.

I changed my desktop icon for the bat file and for the sh3 backup save game folder for my desktop.
