Backup

Ability to backup user settings logs and configs, seems like pazer is connecting databases so why not? I constantly switch between pc and laptop

isnt that possible now by just copying the cfg folder?

Yea, but what if you want to synchronise your configs? I have 2 different lists on 2 different machines, joining them is kinda tedious, especially with databases

I fail to see how being able to make a backup will ease merging configs.

In the meantime, consider using a P2P File Sync application like Syncthing. it will sync the file both ways every time one of them changes and both devices are turned on and on the same network. In case you use the laptop on the go, you just have to make sure to turn it on real quick when you arrive home so the newer version can be synced to the PC before playing tf2 there.

In the case of this tool you would just be copying a file instead of the cfg folder. Functionally identical.

In the case of the installed version I can see it being of some use to do this through the UI since the path to the files is not obvious. Even if it is just copying files, when the files are hard to get to through explorer I can see the value here.
