Help with manually backing up game saves
I'm planning on sending my computer in for repair and I want to manually backup my progress for a few games in case something unexpected happens. I'm trying to copy the save files onto a 2TB flash drive but I need help finding them. Specifically, I want to backup my saves for Darkest Dungeon, Enter the Gungeon, Gunfire Reborn, Project Zomboid, Rimworld, and Risk of Rain 2. I also might need directions on how to restore the saves once I've gotten my computer back. I've never done something like this before and I want make sure I do it correctly, so any help would be appreciated.

Look up game save manager. Little app that does it for you. Haven't used it so can't help you with that just know it's recommended quite often

To do so manually you could ask in each games Specific forum or maybe do a web search. Make a note of where they are located. Then to restore them just put them in the same location.

I just checked Documents, but I didn't see any of the games I was looking for. I'm downloading game save manager right now and hopefully that'll work out.
