You are not making a backup when you click on save! You are making a saved game! To create a backup you have to do something totally different!
You click on file and click on backups and then click on backup current game. So its impossible for you to restore from backup when you have never created a backup of your game. A saved game is not the same as a backup. When you close OOTP you are SAVING the game not backing up the game.
In the screenshot is the only way you can make a backup of your current game.
That file, when created, goes into your backup folder.
Here is my backup folder because I do keep backups.
If your game crashes, then reload it by clicking on LOAD GAME on the OOTP Home Screen which is in the 3rd picture.
Please click on LOAD GAME on the home screen because I want to see what is in you load game folder. Show that, its my 4th picture.
I am thinking I am coming to the conclusion you are confusing a SAVED GAME with a BACKUP COPY of your game.
Please load OOTP 21 and click on LOAD GAME and show us that picture when it comes up. Because if your saved game folder has no info it would be impossible for you to load into your game and if you are not doing actual backups, then yes, your backup folder will be empty.
