Ok bit of a silly question. I've done a Steam backup and now I want to use it to restore on my new PC. I've got the *.sid file but how do I restore from it? :blink:

If you have the whole folder you can just reinstall steam into it. That's how i do it.

Thanks lads. It seems my backup was naff and it didn't include the steambackup.exe file. Your link Duvel explained it all, cheers.

I went back to a backup I did a couple of months ago and that worked OK.
Now copying all the stuff in my useraccount folder across to get the configs and maps.
