Default Would anyone be interested in an automated way to back up their save games?

SaveGameBackup is a VBScript developed by me, for me (selfish, I know). But I decided that other gamers may find it useful, as well.

It's purpose is to... well... backup your save games from some of the more recently released games (some older ones, too. Like Far Cry and Half-Life.). That said, it's obviously intended for people who do a lot of gaming. If you do, then you know backing up save games manually is not fun, takes forever, and you will likely forget a game or two. There are certainly tools out there designed to do this - some of them even GUI driven - but I was not able to find one that I liked. Admittedly, I didn't look around for too long before deciding to take the project on myself (I like coding and I needed a solution for this problem).

Anyhow, SGB backs up your saves by searching for a game's save files, SFX archives them with the included 7zip, and then saves them to a directory of your choosing.

You can easily add new games yourself (very intuitive), or if you send me the save file location, I can do it for you. If you add some games, I would like to know the info so I can add them to my copy. I currently have 72 games on the supported list.

I've been building this for a couple months now, and I've shared it with a few friends. But I know there are some gamers here, so I just thought I would put it out in the open, in case anyone was interested.
