Question about buying from Steam

Lets say I wanna buy a game from steam. Can I burn the game after I download it so I won't have to redownload it each time I wanna reinstall it?
Thanks!

yes. There is an option to backup your game on steam client. You can back it up either on a your hard disk or Dvd's In fact you can just copy the game files directly to an external hard disk and when you wish you can restore them back and the game will be installed ( by using check integrity on steam )

Can I do that backup onto another PC? Because I don't want to dl a whole another 10 GB when my other PC is literally 5 metres away.ocstew
