Steam Help

My Raid 0 stripe died on me losing my 90GB steam folder so I'm going to get a 128GB SSD

I have the majority of steam backed up to my server

Is it a question of installing steam on the new SSD and then just copying the contents of the steam apps folder from the server to the new steam apps folder on the SSD?

I have backed up about 60GB of games I will have download the rest again

cheers

Just copy the whole steam folder over and run steam.exe, it will install itself again from this exe

I only have the steam apps folder on the server

do I download the Steam msi create a folder on the SSD called Games\steam

copy the steamapps folder to games\steam then run the msi? and choose the SSD games\steam as the location for the new install?

So I can copy the contents of steamapps from the server after installing steam?
