Maintaining Your Local Game Progress
You need to keep manually creating backups using Saved Games in case you need to restore. Depending on how much you play TPA will determine how often you create a backup.
As a general guideline:
There is no way to schedule a Saved Games backup in the game, so you will need to rely on other systems to remind you. You can use the DLC cycle as my memory jogger to create a new Saved Game restore point. This workaround is suitable until FarSight implements a better way of managing data.
