Backing up Steam?


Chris

Recommended Posts

Ok so my new PC is all up and running for the past couple of days (pics up soon), getting everything installed. One thing I haven't ever had to do before is backup all my Steam stuff including HL1 and 2 etc. I need to get it off my old PC and on to my new one.

I am aware there's some sort of backup option in Steam itself... no idea how that actually works though and what exactly it does. So does anyone have any experience in doing this? I quickly googled it and read about how the backup function can take hours to actually do, and also it sometimes crashes / isn't always reliable. I've also read how some people have done it and it hasn't worked... i.e. they have to purchase their games again or something.

It's not important as I rarely play the games anyway, but since I did pay for them I do actually want them there, so any tips?
