Automatically backups your SavedVariables and game settings

What's new:

Now supports player sales in w33zl's Merchant

Feature spotlight:

Automatically backups up your precious data and settings files
Keeps different backup sets for each region/megaserver and game client version (EU 1.3, EU 1.3.5, PTS 1.4, US 1.3 etc)
Supports w33zl's Merchant add-on

Main features:

No more need to manually backup your SavedVariables and game settings for The Elder Scrolls Online, ESO Safe automatically backups all your files in the background
Ensure your saved add-on data is safe when upgrading the game with the latest patch - no more loss of data due to breaking changes in the API
Watches each folder and instantaneously updates the backup when a file is saved - this ensures your add-on data is safe as soon you perform a /reloadui, log out a character or quits the game
Backups all files in the SavedVariables folder as well as the AddOnSettings and UserSettings config files
Keeps the five latest versions per file so you can go back in time - especially useful if a newly updated add-on has a bug that would corrupt or erase your precious data

Configurable number of version per backup file

Supports all three versions of the game simultaneously (the US version, the EU version and the Public Test Server)
Keeps one backup set per game client version (especially useful to go back in time due to data loss with API or addon breaking changes)

How to buy?

There is no reason to buy this software, it is free to use. At least for now. But I would gladly take donations as tokens of gratitude and as compensation for my time invested.

ESO Safe 2 Beta

The next major version of ESO Safe is planned to have cloud backup. Safely store your files off-location and never again worry about disk failures or major computer crashes. All your files is safely stored in the cloud and could easily be downloaded to any computer.

Another possible feature for the cloud storage is to enable synchronizing of add-on data between clients. This might be included in a future version.
