A question about saved games on Steam?

So, me and my Mom share a laptop. It's recently been experiencing some problems, and her usual fix is to run a system restore (IE, destroying everything on the laptop created after a certain date) to a point where the problems didn't exist.

However, I have recently bought Elder Scrolls 4 on Steam (for 7 bucks, a nice deal), and I'm wondering if a system restore will delete my saved games, or if the actual saves are stored with my Steam account, and thus in no real danger.

If they are, what's the best way to back them up onto a hard copy?

    If you bought the game after the restore point date then yes you have to back it up.

    If its before the date you are going too then no you don't.

    ANyways its a good idea regardless. You need to access the game folder in C:programs:steam:etc.

    If its the multiplayer than steam saves that automatically. You can save all single missions to a hard drive "external",flash drive or disk.Option is yours..
