Backing up my game

Recommended Posts

So i put a lot of mods and crap into my game and sometimes i break it. So then i got to reinstall it, witch really sucks because i got the digital copy of the game. I chose to backup my game when i first download it but for some reason i always have to redownload the entire game again. So what im asking is there a way to make a game disk or .iso or anything so if i have to reinstall this game or any steam game i dont have to re download it.

On the skyrim icon in steam library, back up local files, then set up file size blocks yo want ie DVD/CD or non back up, then burn that to a DVDr(s) and t will be the latest version.

Are you sure it's re-downloading everything? I have several back-up copies of my local skyrim folder and every time I have used one Steam only downloads the latest patch when I run the game next. It takes a bit of time, but not nearly as long as downloading the whole thing.

Nice ty i will try that as soon as it finishes downloading again. I had them downloaded before but never burned them i didnt think it would delete the backups on the uninstall. Oh yea quick question, what should i use to burn the file, just drag and drop using windows or do i need to do something different?

 

 

Vootins yea its the whole thing, close to 6 gigs

 

Also i dont use the steam uninstall becouse its leaves too much crap (not the backups though) behind and sometimes the game still wont work.
