Hey there Steam team, I am not sure if this has been brought up at all but I believe this has been a real missed opportunity to really push and use the already existing desktop backup and restore feature in game mode to really push forward the idea we should be able to back up and restore our game collections from physical backed up media.
Another part of this is taking some examples of the PSP for example if I put in a SD card with a backup it would be really awesome to have it come up at the front of your games on the menu to then install from your local backup. Here is a rough example mockup I created to show what I mean.
the backup SD card/drive will show up on the main menu with the games ID and selecting it would go through restoring the backup and installing it
Features like this would further improve the Steam OS/Steam Deck experience and take advantage of a existing feature that is consumer friendly.
