Actually, there's a cooler way. Just drag the entire SteamApps folder (found within your Steam installation directory) to another location. Bam! Everything's backed up, including games, downloads, and more. Not the 'official' method, but hey, it works.

Why bother backing up? Steam stores all your games in the cloud. Just re-download whenever. Saves time and space.
