I choose one of the many target folders and for some reason I need to keep on giving it a new name. I do that and choose "restore from backup" but nothing is restored from backup. I've had to do this repeatedly over the years each time I download a new patch and for other reasons. Sometimes it works and I can resume my game and sometimes it doesn't. Really frustrating.
Any suggestions?

Hey BRS,
So if your save game no longer shows on the continue game screen or the load game we should first look at doing an autosave for your missing save. While the backup would work that requires you to have been backing up the save over time as you played the save. So if you were that's great we should have loads of backups to choose from depending on how far back we have to go to get a clean working save game.
For the autosave restore you can follow the video tutorial we have.

Now if that doesn't work we can look at doing the backup and restore option. First, we need to make sure that you have been backing up the save using our in-game backup system. There are 2 ways we can do the restoration of backups.
One is to use the in-game restore system from the load game screen. That's the one you've been having issues with. Usually, you can simply click the backup you wish to restore, enter the name you'd like to give the restored backup (usually its the same name as the backup name), and then you should be able to click restore to have the game process that working backup to your saved_games folder so you can load it up as usual.
Now the second way you can do this is to navigate to your backup folder directly and copy/paste the backup to your saved_games folder. That works as well and while more manual work is involved it does give you a little more control over what you're restoring and making sure it works.
I'm planning on making an updated tutorial video regarding all of our autosave, backups, and restoring functions this week so be on the lookout for that.
Thanks
