My specs: http://pastebin.com/YaZRpdF1

I made backups of some videogames by using steam functions (Steam -> Backup and Restore Games..) to an external HDD (filesystem ext4). I deleted local data of of those games, i restored backups, verified integrity and steam downloaded very large data of the game (and multiple times). I tested in another partition too, same result. Changed to beta client, same result.
I'm not using any full encryption or home folder encryption.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Make backup of videogames by using steam backup function to external driver (ext4).
  2. Restore backup where/when you need by using steam restore function.
  3. Verify integrity of game cache.
