So I just started my collection of Steam games ( Was mainly a console gamer) and wanted to know any tried and true options to save games in the cloud.

I found this wiki link which does talk about the different options but wanted to know what has been proven to be the best implementation of the lot.

Well, newer games are starting to support Steam Cloud sync, which is automatic.

I suppose you could use something like DropBox to sync your My Documents folder to the cloud. 95% of games will keep their save files in that location; for the rest, you'd have to sync additional locations within the Program Files folder.

Maybe Crashplan or Mozy is a better option, since it's easier to specify specific locations to backup.

I don't think you'll find anything completely automatic. And I wouldn't recommend syncing between multiple computers (since syncing the wrong setting could, at best, reset your settings, and at worst, break the game completely.)
