Does Steam store any saves in main folder?

[Vertigo]

I want to stop backing up my main Steam folder as it's huge and there's no point since I can re-download the games if I need to.

My concern is that I obviously want to backup savegames (configs don't matter so much). I know most games store such data in the My Documents or My Games folders but is this a rule? Can I safely assume there'll be no savegame data in the main folder?

You don't really need to backup steam. Just make sure steam is installed on a drive other than where windows is installed and if it ever comes to a situation where you need to do a clean install of windows you can do that and then just click on the steam exe and it will work straight from there

Yes I know I don't need to back it up as I can re-download everything if I lose it. I just want to know if, by omitting the main Steam folder, I risk losing any game saves if the drive fails and I've not backed it up.

Well I backup a full image of my C: drive so anything in my profile folders will be safe, just want to put the steam library on another drive that isn't backed up. From what I can tell I should be safe with this.
