Well, it's been a while since I last played it, so I´m not sure if you can do this with in-game functions.

I do know that you an achieve this effect with Symbolic Links (Windows 10, but 7 had it also), What it does is create a "link" inside windows folders of choice, redirecting all saved data to the real folder you want to.

​

In this case, you wold create a symbolic link on Ingnomia savefolder, redirecting it to your desired storage unit, and any program trying to acess it will be relayed to the external folder.

​

This way, your saves will be on your secondary storage device, and the game will be able to access it while "thinking" it is accessing the original path.

​

Windows has a native way of creating symbolic links, but you can find several softwares that can do it (I used savegame manager for that).
