I have Syncthing installed via pacman (since flatpaks cannot keep a daemon running). For every game that I care about, I find its save file, move it to a sync dir, and symlink it back to where it is expected. My savegame sync folder has folders for the many varied places that games like to hide their saves - “gamedir”, local, locallow, “my documents”, dot_config, etc. The most fun part is finding out where the appropriate proton prefix is.
If I was starting over again, there’s a decky loader plugin that looks promising.
I have the same setup, but I am using the flatpak version of syncthing. It can run a daemon just fine, however I am running a user systems service. Works great and starts automatically in both desktop and game modes
Same here, except I didn’t even need pacman; you can download a standalone executable of syncthing and run it as a user service.
Syncthing and/or Warpinator.
There’s a decky extension that will automatically backup game saves to various cloud storage types.
Oh I love decky. I’d love something automated that doesn’t need me to go into desktop mode so I’ll look for that.
By exclusively playing on Steam Deck there is no need to sync anything ;)
