Save overwritten when not backed up properly.

Description

I have ludusavi on both my steamdeck and Windows computer. I used the wrap with --force command to backup my games for both the steamdeck and windows computer automatically. I forgot to properly close the game when I was shutting down my computer so the backup was never taken. I then used my steamdeck and it restored to cloud automcatically. Since my computer saw a newer save in the cloud it then overwrote my backup locally and in the cloud. we need some proper timestamp checking to detect this.

I propose we use the the size /file modified to check before restoring.
my situation happened because my new save wasn't uploaded or even synced with the backup so cloud sync saw a newer save on the cloud and decided to restore that one. This would also happen if the user is offline when progressing there save and doesn't initiate a save

if the local file size is > than the local backup file size and cloud sync backup . Another check would be to check the modified timestamp on top of that. if the local file modified timestamp is <= local backup file timestamp and local file size > local backup timestamp we should raise a error and let the user decide what to do. we could also implement automatic rules to let it automatically decide what to do.
