An easier way to restore backup files is to rename them with some identifier such as "my league" with"after ST" or "season end" added to the filename. Then use a zip file utility to store on an external drive. To restore these backups, copy the zip file to the saved games folder and unzip it. The backup can be opened like any other saved game if the filename is unique.

FWIW I've never had a backup fail unless it was an already corrupt save game file. Amazingly I've actually made a few backups of what I thought were "bad" files that have restored and worked just fine

Just my experience. YMMV.
