An Autohotkey script to compress the savefile folder, then with another hotkey extract that compressed file overwriting the current savefiles. ie: reverting to a previous save. Useful for games that don't allow multiple saves in the U.I.

Compress: Ctrl & Ins
Extract: Ctrl & Del

Usage:

1. Open the provided SavefilePaths.txt and insert the paths for the savefiles' folder & desired compressed backups folder
2. Run the SaveHotkey*.ahk script
3. Activate desired hotkeys

!While Compressing or backing up savefiles can be used at any moment indefinitely, It is important to not Extract while the game is running. Check Task Manager to make sure.
