I use microSDs for offline backups. Every Friday I zip my home folder and copy it onto one of two rotating 1TB SSD. One SSD stays at the house, another at my office, so I always have a fairly recent offsite backup.
Using 1TB as my backup size I keep my active development projects to a size limit of 1TB. That’s fine for code, it can fit all type typescript I want. I’ve began branching out into asset heavy projects, such as video editing and game development, and that 1TB limit is feeling more and more constraining. Now every quarter or so I “archive” projects out of my documents folder, which is a lengthier backup process.
I know there are cloud based backup solutions, but I find this way to be cheaper and having a physical copy to hold gives me a feeling of security.
