Hi guys i need to reinstall windows and i have like 120 games installed from this forum
i noticed that every time i download a new version of a game i have the saves even if i don't copy them to the game folder myself
is there a way i can back up the saves of all the games?
thanks in advance

It depends on the engine.
Ren'py: just copy C:\Users\[Your Username]\Appdata\Roaming\Renpy
RPG Maker: bad luck, saves are stored inside their game folder (in RPGM MV they are inside "www\save")
Unity: somewhere like C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\[companyname]\[projectname]

(it should be either Roaming or LocalLow I guess, depending on the version of your OS. Sorry I don't have Windows)

If you can't find the %appdata% folder, just google the solution: it could be hidden.
