Steam used to have a way of backing up installs yourself; if it’s still a thing, I have no idea where it’s hidden now.

Library -> Game context menu -> Manage -> Back up game files...

The game files are just directories you can archive however you want anyway. No stinky 'installer executables' necessary. (:

Glad to hear this is still a thing. Like a total unc I keep a txt file of every game I own in the event I need to "buy it again" later.
