Question2: Compression rate is always the same, you can decide on how big you want those chunks to be in case you backup to CD/DVD or other media with finite storage.
Question3: Depends on how big the chunks you want them to be. Make sure it is not using FAT32 if you want to use files bigger than 4GB.
Question4: What column are you talking about? You can only choose a custom chunk size.
Backup the save files instead...
so the backup thing is fake. you HAVE TO backup save files YOURSELF? bummer
Thanks for the help anyways

to automate the backup of save games and other personal information.
Don't worry, you have full control on where to save the backup. No cloud shenanigans.
Looks like the website is currently experiencing technical difficulties.
normally i dont use third party stuff but well i could try i guess
thanks
Some may have limited bandwidth, so may need to store the game for future use.
Your questions were already answered, so I will just add this:
I don't use the back-up system. It is quite out dated and takes forever to back-up and restore, from my experience.
I copy the games to another dive if I need to back it up (often if I mod a game a lot, I will have a clean back-up in case anything goes wrong). You can also use a compression software such as 7-zip (100% free) to compress it for storage.
Back-up is for the game it's self.
There is also cloud saves for many games, if you enabled it.
Most saves are in the "My Documents" and "AppData" folders.
You're taking caution well by not downloading outside stuff, but Game Save Manager is not only legit, but frankly essential.
If you have more than a handful of games, it's fantastic for backing up saves. I've used it for years.
You do not need to backup on cd (no idea how that was even possible with most games)
Steam just wraps up the data into a file. The advantage over copying it yourself is that Steam knows where things go, and how to maintain the .acf files.
In fact, you might not be aware of this, but Steam even has (or had; I've used this almost 10 years ago...) a command line option to "download" a game from a CD -- and it even supports multiple CDs. This is from way back when games were still sold on CDs/DVDs in stores.
It's probably not the same kind of archive as produced by the backup tool, but similar in what it does.
2. That depends on you, if trying to shrink files down, but IMO, if want easier time to move things just copy Steam folder. If you're moving to new PC, just install Steam, and then replace it from your copy you did from old system, if reinstall OS just do same thing, install then replace with copy. Easy stuff.
3. Use whatever best for you, you can throw it onto your USB anyways, and it read the files just fine.
4. Just leave it as default.
Back up not fake, as it back up exactly what it was told to, reason why doesn't do saves, because it doesn't know about them, that where cloud save comes in, so if game Dev tells where saves located, and what they are, that cloud enable right there, without needing to actually back then up to begin with. But can use 3rd party tool to manually grab all your saves, it useful for offline no internet access cases.
Makes it easier to back up large files. I don't know anyone who still use CD/DVD's on computers these days.
Hard drives fail, DVDs don't if you know how to store them correctly.
There's a reason I have CDs I bought right from when they were first released in the 1980s and only two don't work out of thousands. Temperature, sunlight and all that are the way to deal with such media.
Aside from that I'd just throw games in my own zip archives if I wanted to back them up. Steam's process is archaic and I'd argue it's mostly there for people who have used it in the past and still need access to those old archives. If you're trying to backup games in 2022 there's better options in my opinion. Especially if you're capable of managing game folders yourself.
It's very archaic and not only that but very unreliable. Always has been.
The big problem there is that you won't find out how unreliable it is until too late - when you want to reinstall the backup.
So I'd say just copy and paste the folders if you really want to do this, but it's rather moot.
