Question

What files are absolutely essential to back up in case of disaster?

Answer

Your custom content and config files of course. The rest you can download from STEAM. To avoid the lengthy download of new gcf files, take the time to make a STEAM Backup of the basic game files. Open Steam --> Play Games ---> Right click on the game you want to back up. STEAM will create an executable back up file(s) in the format appropriate to either a CD or DVD burn. When you need to reinstall the game(s), a brief update via Steam, to catch up on new updates from your last backup will be all it takes to be back on line.
