One Step Backup batch file for Grid Autosport
By WuvGun the Bent and 1 collaborators
This will show you quickly and simply how to create a single batch file that will backup your Grid Autosport save file in case of corruption. When done playing, you will be able to simply double click 1 shortcut and your game will be backed up. It will put a timestamped folder in the folder you chose for your backup that will have all three files from your remote folder in it.

Creating the batch file to quickly backup your game.
Ok, I offer this as a quick backup solution, but I have been using it and it has already saved my butt numerous times.

Edit paths to your data number (asteriks).

Also, you need to verify your paths on your machine. These paths are for the default Win 7 x64 Steam installation. Yours may differ.

Where you want to save [destination folder].

Make sure to save it as "All files/ANSI" and NOT save as "text" files.
GAS-BackUp.bat [ copy all into your file ]
@echo off

set savegamepath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\********\255220\remote\*.*
set destinationfolder=C:\Backup-GridAutoSport

set dt=%date:~0,2%%date:~3,2%%date:~6,4%
set tm=%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%
set tm=%tm: =0%
xcopy /e "%savegamepath%" "%destinationfolder%\%dt%_%tm%\" /Y

Steam User Data Backup

Backing up your entire userdata would be the same essentially, of course would probably be even easier just to use Windows copy function, but I'll lay it out for you anyways. This backs up everything, and is 400mb on my comp, still took less than 30 seconds.

@echo off

set savegamepath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\*.*
set destinationfolder=C:\Backup-SteamUserBU

set dt=%date:~0,2%%date:~3,2%%date:~6,4%
set tm=%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%
set tm=%tm: =0%
xcopy /e "%savegamepath%" "%destinationfolder%\%dt%_%tm%\" /Y

(credit to xxxstefxxx for the /e addition for all files.)

Maybe it's late but i found a simple solution. If the game says that you have broken save file, all you have to do is uncheck "Touring Legends" dlc on steam, launch the game, then select this dlc again and game should work properly. I am doing this every time I have this kind of problem. I hope that it will be helpful.

Botão direito do mouse a pasta remota e clique em "restaurar a versão anterior"
Se isso não funcionar, você provavelmente vai ter que começar de novo.

I forgot to mention that you can use ShadowExplorer for those of you who have Home Preium editino of windows to restore the data.

if people just used their Previous Versions from volume Shadow Copies (SnapShots)then you would not need this script at all. Right click the remote folder and click "retore previous version"

Nice. I used /S which copies all folders & subfolders before getting the chance to read here. Useful stuff! Thanks for sharing

At S4b1n, since games have different folder structures, you would need to copy everything to get the saves. HOWEVER, many game save files are also in MyDocuments/MyGames as well. These games would not be backed up by the posted .bat files. I, usually, 7zip or WinRar, these locations to compress the file sizes, rather than using a .bat file.

At walker88, if you don't understand this, better off not trying this.

At S4b1n, you can simply remove what is after \userdata\ your*steam*number\*.* 255220 is the code for GAS. I would also then use xxxstefxxx's suggestion on adding the "/e" behind xcopy so that you get all files and subfolders.

At xxxstefxxx, I will add that to the guide, as some do prefer the full folder structure. Thank you.

well done, thanks. One question though, i'd like to backup all the savegames i have in the steam userdata. How can i copy all the folders? Thanks :)
