  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

You can currently backup your games installed using Steam Play but cannot Restore them through the Linux Client

Justification [optional]

This is a Major Oversight and hampers low bandwidth users that take advantage of the backup system as to not go over on their datacaps. I

Risks [optional]

None, this functionality should already be present it appears to be an oversight

References [optional]

Try Backing up a Windows Only Game in the Linux Client(It will allow you.) Now try restoring it. (It will not allow you to do so.)

Hello @HadetTheUndying, this is an issue with the steam client rather than Proton itself, so I've transferred this issue to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5786.
