Steam ,can downloads be backed up ?

311 · 2007-07-30 22:16:15

Hello ,I want to backup all the stuff on my machine. Can I backup downloaded games in the steam interface ,or do I have to re-download them ? I've paid for about 3 games and download about 10 demos. Altogether it's a few gigabytes.

Yep, just open steam, go to the my games menu, right click on a game and choose "backup game files"
That'll create an executable file, all you have to do to recover your files is double click that (presuming you already have steam installed)
