Butler: release notes

Each version, newest first.

0.1.0

The Butler joins the gamers' household: your game saves backed up, and checked that they restore.

What's new

  • Finds your games' saves by itself: in Saved Games, My Games, Steam's cloud saves and Unreal Engine games' folders, and any save folder you add.
  • Backs them up to an external drive, another drive, a network folder or a cloud folder already on your PC, copying only what changed, every hour or when you press Back up now.
  • Keeps a changed save's older copy, so a save that went wrong can be taken back. Nothing in the backup is ever deleted.
  • Every week it restores a few saves from the backup and checks they match.
  • Says plainly what isn't covered yet, like a drive that's unplugged or a game it didn't find.

Before you update

  • Nothing: choose where to back up to when you hire it, and it starts.

Installing

  • Castellan installs and updates it by itself. To install it by hand, unpack the zip anywhere and run node src\cli.ts install (Node 22.18 or later). SHA256SUMS.txt lists its SHA-256 (PowerShell: Get-FileHash).
