Comment on What procedures do you take to save and archive your games?

With GOG, I just put the installers onto a thumbdrive.
With Steam, I was burning discs using its offline backup tool, but I haven’t had a disc drive in my PC for years now. IDK if those can be backed up into a thumbdrive these days… It only allowed CD/DVD images to be created the last time I ever used it.

I hope you’re powering up that thumb drive every few weeks. Flash memory will lose charge if left unpowered for too long, corrupting your data.

I usually just leave it in the computer until I need to take it somewhere.
