How to Retain Your Game Progress

The best way to keep your game progress safe is to back up the folder. Creating backups remains the safest way to protect your important files and documents from being affected even in the case of a malware attack. If you don't back up your files, one day, you (or another user) could mistakenly delete the file, or your hard disk could get affected by a power surge. Anything can happen to cause you to lose the file.

Interestingly, you can always use the DiskInternals Partition Recovery software to backup your Steam game progress regularly. DiskInternals Partition Recovery supports an advanced data backup technology called Disk Image. A disk image saves more comprehensive data than regular backups. Disk images are simply a clone of your HDD/SDD - they also save your hard disk’s configurations.

Creating disk images with DiskInternals Partition Recovery is entirely free, and you can create as many as necessary.
