I want to uninstall a game, and maybe come back to it sometime later. If I uninstall via "delete local game content", will my save game still be backed up somewhere?

check steam forums for confirmation.

i loaded steam on another cpu and logged in, installed Dungeon Defenders and all my progress was still saved. levels, items, etc. this is one of the positives of digital media and steam.

If the game supports the Steam Cloud, then yes, it'll be there. If not, then you'll need to back it up manually.

Never a bad idea.

I've had games that kept the data, assuming it's the same computer you re-install on of course. Not sure if this is universal or not though. Steam Cloud will also do it for you.
