Since the last few major update to the Steam Client software on Linux which involved major changes to the way steam works I've been constantly having an issue with restoring steam backup files.

On Arch Linux, Ubuntu and other systems Steam used to restore backup files as normal and install all of my games that were backup in bulk however now Steam Restore backup function skips a number of games and refuses to install them whereas certain ones are installed in bulk.

Currently, to get round this I have to keep constantly reinstall them via Steam backup/restore individually one by one which is time consuming. I don't know if others are having a similar issue with Steam backup/restore but could this be looked into?
