We already discussed how to move a Steam game from one folder to another. Today, let’s take a look how to take backup of Steam games. The steps are same for both Windows and Linux.

The step-by-step guide

• Open Steam.
• Go to Library >> Games.

• You’ll see the list of all the installed games on the left panel. Select the games you want to make a backup.

• Right-click and select “Backup Game Files”.

• Click “Next”.

• Select the directory where you want to backup your game.

• Enter a backup file name. I recommend leaving the option of “File Size” to “CD [640 MB]”. It’s only a measure of splitting the compressed game archive.

Just wait until the game(s) are backed up.

For Linux usres, there’s another tool named “SLSK”. It allows easier management & backup facility for Linux platform. You need to build it from the source. Check out the complete instruction on installing Steam Linux Swiss Knife.

Enjoy!
