Steam Backup Tool / Home

This tool has been created to replace the built in Steam backup and restore utility. Generally speaking it will compress games faster and/or smaller (depending on the settings) than the default backup feature in Steam. This tool also tends to be a lot more stable and it doesn't break the file into segments unlike the utility built into steam.
