After getting really sick of syncing the saves for all my old games between two computers manually i've decided to write up a utility that will automate the backup process and possibly the restore process if I get around to it.
What it does is run in the system tray and monitor for games it is configured to watch for. Once the game is closed it will automatically compress the saves for the game you were playing and copy it to a folder you specify and optionally drop it in your cloud folder, where your cloud client can take care of uploading it.
I made a little YouTube demo of my early version.

What i'm wondering is if anyone else is interesting in using this application. If so i'll release it when it's in a state i'm comfortable with. The game monitoring configurations once set should work on any system, so it's possible it can be released and automatically monitor the entire GOG library without any user setup required.
If anyone is interested in helping me test it or config games fire me a PM.
