On-line backup of user game data.

Suggestion

Well, long story short, I lost my "Game.prefs" file in Demigod.  Which meant I lost all progress, etc in the game.

After thinking about it awhile, I started to get a little upset that there wasn't an ability to "Restore" these settings.  First thought, "Where's the backup?".  Second though - "Did System Restore save a copy?"  Yeah, it meant I'd have to rollback some OS updates, to get at it.... 

Then, it occurred to me - why can't "Impulse" have an option to save "game data".  Yes, it would mean a network connection was required and Impulse, etc.  But, that is what happens when I "re-download" a game, anyway.

Thoughts?  Any chance this might get "kicked up" as a truly valuable feature of Impulse?

I think Stardock is already planning on such a feature (which would be the counterpart to Steamcloud).
