Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
Before running these source commands, download the v1.1.0 source archive, extract it, and open a terminal in the extracted project folder containing README.md. Follow the tagged README for required runtimes and any platform-specific setup.
python -m pip install .
save-backup-recipe "C:\Games\Example\Saves" "D:\Backups\Example" --output backup.ps1
save-backup-recipe ~/.local/share/example/saves ~/backups/example.tar.gz --shell bash --mode archiveGenerated recipes stop when the source folder is missing or the destination already exists. The generator rejects identical paths and destinations nested inside the source, quotes supplied paths for the selected shell, and reminds the operator to verify the result.
Current limitations
These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
The current v1.1.0 release is bounded by the behavior documented in its README and changelog. It does not claim unsupported platforms, automatic interpretation, or results beyond the evidence it produces.
