    From the README

    Ludusavi is a tool for backing up your PC video game save data, written in Rust. It is cross-platform and supports multiple game stores.

    This tool uses the Ludusavi Manifest for info on what to back up for each game. The data is primarily sourced from PCGamingWiki, so please contribute any new or fixed data back to the wiki itself, and your improvements will be incorporated into Ludusavi's data as well.

    If you'd like to help translate Ludusavi into other languages, check out the Crowdin project.
