Half life 2 DVD issue

[fuzzynavel]

I have a legal copy of Half life 2 with CD key etc......but every time I format windows I have to do a 3GB download to get HL2 back from Steam.....is there any way to download and put on a DVD so I don't have to keep doing this???

Steam does indeed have a backup function...it's been ages since I've used it though so you'll have to get the details from someone else (either that or PM me and I'll look at some point)

thanks guys.....found it.....

You do it from main steam menu..(the one in the task bar..)

Go to "play games" and right click on the game of your choice...there is an option to backup there!
