All my work goes in Documents on linux and windows and I just rsync those files that I don't keep in the cloud over to a backup drive. Most of them I could get by without. Everything else is on github or cloud drives. It's been a long time since I trusted a piece of hardware with irreplaceable files. If it's a personal computer, I just take the hard drive out. They will have spares they can put in. If I couldn't take the HD out I would at least wipe it. All my drives have an encryption layer at all times.
