Trouble with Backup saves, Steam, and a reinstalled DoD Folder

Hellote, I'm trying to import my backup saves into Dungeons of Dredmor, after having deleted and reinstalled both steam and DoD(folders also), and although I can get the saves to load while launching DoD without steam, If I launch DoD with steam, all of my backup saves get deleted.

Is there any way to force Steam to import my saves into it's cloud instead of deleting them? I currently have Steam Cloud off because it's very glitchy. If not then I'll probably have to reinstall Dredmor independent of steam, because I don't like having to navigate to the steam folder just to launch dredmor.

Edit: If there's no possible way to force Steam to accept my backup saves, then can someone show me how to install Dredmor(without Steam) without having to pay the cost all over again?

 

I hope this will help.
