Basically I am gonna system restore my computer and i dont feel like starting over as i have about 3 characters or more on end game all with diff builds.

I run new vegas through steam, does anyone know if there is a way to save these save games so that when I restore i can add them to new vegas again after i restore my computer?

They should be in your Documents folder. (edit: NV saves I mean)

I know Steam has Cloud, but the game still saves them to your hard drive. In the beginning I think NV had Cloud disabled because of a bug too, no idea if that was fixed, since I never tried to turn it back on when I disabled it right after installing Steam.
