The Latest update on the Test Servers introduced the long waited replay feature (you can get more information here) the only problem is, it only saves the last 20 games. The only way of saving replays forever is to backup them.
so i have been playing pubg for 5 months now and this happened twice as i was launching pubg steam said it is verifying files and then suddenly its allocating space for download and starts downloading all 13.4 GB again.i checked the steam folder and it is just 6GB which is size of my other game, so now i need to download pubg again? and i cant cause my ISP charges a lot .is there anything i can do beside downloading
Make a backup copy of the files that are downloaded. Then, once the file(s) is/are downloaded, copy them to a flash drive or USB stick and put it in a drawer with a label on it so that it doesn't get overwritten. Then if you have to download or reinstall the software you already have it. Good luck.
The game folder should be about 13GB, not 6GB. If your folder size is only 6GB then it's likely missing files.
In steam games list, right click PUBG and go in to its properties. Click "Verify Game Files" which will have Steam go through and check all the files are correct and verified. If there was an error in a download then a file may have been corrupt.
Do you have steam set to automatically download updates for PUBG? If it's not set to auto-update the games, when you try to launch a game that requires an update it will start allocating space for the new game files and start the download process for the update. You won't be able to launch the game until the download is complete. There's been a number of large updates in recent weeks around 6-7GB for some major game updates.
I have on at least two occasions. Company of Heroes 2 tends to be the winner every time I try to restore it. DOOM also needed a re-download, but that may have been because my backup was before Denuvo was removed.
Next, select Backup Currently Installed Games, then check the box next to each app and game you want to backup. Choose a location to store the backup, then give the backup a name (ignore the CDROM option below the text field).
To restore your backup on a different computer after installing Steam and signing into your account, connect the external drive, select Steam > Backup and Restore Games > Restore a previous backup > select the location of your backup > pick the apps or games you want to restore.
Previously, as far as I understood, Steam downloaded the game files directly to steam\steamapps\common\. Since this folder would be created on starting the download, pausing and closing Steam, copying the game files to this folder, and then validating the game files would make Steam absorb as much as possible and just download the missing files.
Currently, Steam downloads the files to steam\steamapps\downloading\ and then moves them over to the aforementioned folder once the download finishes. So first of all, what the final folder would be is not clear. So what would be the correct way of doing the same thing, that is, making Steam use as much of the existing files as possible? Should the files be copied to downloading\*\, or should I figure out the actual folder (say via googling) and copy the files to steamapps\common\*\?
More specifically, I had a retail copy of Arkham City installed, and I just bought the GOTY version on Steam. Now I tried both of the above things, in either case, the validating does not seem to do anything. Assuming I have the correct folder name, steamapps\common\Batman Arkham City GOTY, according to this, if I copy the files there, Steam seems to just continue with its 17GB download. If I copy it to steamapps\downloading\200260, then the download keeps stopping every few seconds with "Disk Write Error" after modifying 1 or 2 files, and I have to keep hitting resume.
and then choose your shared steam folder. Also now steam let you choose where download games; i hove NOT tested cross-gaming (using the same folder on windows and linux), but just relinked my folder (somehow steam lost track of my external HDD) and everythings work fine.

This isn't mandatory but is nonetheless a worthwhile precaution. The most convenient way is simply copying your Steam or SteamApps folder (which is where your games are) to a backup directory via Windows Explorer. However, the Steam client also provides an integrated backup and recovery process that will let you select installed titles and store them as backup files. The tool splits the game data into CSM/CSD files that are sized suitably for fitting on CDs and DVDs, though you can also create one large save.
In a tweet, CEO Richard Svensson explained how players can make backups and avoid losing their data to the bug, confirming that despite trying to reproduce it and address the glitch, the team hasn't yet been able to do so. However, Iron Gate suspects it may be connected to exiting the gaming by ALT+F4 and not via the menu.
Just to let you know, that UPS is only good for about 2-5 min backup...anything longer and it will shut down, which makes it about useless for anything other than giving you a second to shut your system down if you are right there, and to cut down on spikes or flicker outages causing issues.
Well, it's a CyberPower 425va/255 W battery backup, and my PSU is a Thermaltake Black Widow 850 W. On top of that I run it with an Nvidia GTX 780 and an Intel i-7 2600k. My monitor and speaker system is also connected with it.
I have never researched UPS', so I am not sure if they are supposed to match your PSU power or not. Seeing as it's mainly a battery backup, wouldn't it just push the current through?
Also, until I look into a new one, would it be fine to plug the PC cable into the wall?

Once done, go to your new PC and plug the portable drive in. You will naturally first need to install Steam on the new computer first. Once done, open up the exact same default Steam library location (C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common) on the new PC and copy the game folder/s there.
Now Steam will do its magic, as it searches for the already existing game files in \Steam\steamapps\common folder. Once it finds them, it will simply initiate the install without redownloading the entire game.
You can read more about how to backup and restore your Steam games here, but I would not recommend using this method to move your Steam games to another computer, simply because of how much longer it takes, without any benefit.
