Have you backed up your Steam Files?

I'm doing it now.

Gonna take up four gigs of hard disk space, but I think its gonna be worth it in the event of a crash/error/problem.

Any one else done so/doing so?
 
It said 4 gigs during the process, but the file is actually only 2.5gigs for me.

I think the back up is in case you f*ck up your system and have to format the disk. Thus losing HL2. If you try and activate it again, the CD key may not work, and therefore renders the game useless. The backup proves the game is yours, and it doesn't matter if you lose the original installation, so long as you got the backup.
 
Backing up is slightly pointless, anyone who purchased and preloaded HL2/CS:S is thick anyway :D

Buy on the CD, then u just got to download the updates.. which are nothing..
