+1 for ludusavi, works really well with syncthing too. Steamdeck also has a decky plugin for it that syncs automatically on launch and closing. I even use it to backup my self hosted services so it works for everything.
I know cloud saves expire after a time and get deleted.
No, they do not. Kind of awesome that way.
failed cloud sync can happen for a few different reasons, it would be nice if you could know why.
For your own saving you could look at this project: github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi

That must be a new thing then. I distinctly recall beating oblivion and morrowind, having cloud saves, then reinstalling the games like a decade later, having switched computers, and them not being in the cloud anymore. I reached out to steam support and was told they don’t hang around forever and were for syncing and computer failure, not forever backup, and that they were gone.
