What file format does the Steam backup use?
For current exports, it’s some custom .csm/.csd file combo. Not sure if there’s any tools for working with it, seems like it’d be more annoying than just using a normal archive format either way.
That’s bad. I guess if I want to back up my Steam games, it’s going to be tarballs.
