Whether or not you are already experienced with something that involves changing data (such as updating software in this case), backups are indeed important, especially for irreplaceable data. 🧘‍♂️🤓

Exactly, which is why I always clone my Arch installations after any notable changes, and after a certain period of time. I'm just about to swap out the Arch installation from which I'm typing this now, for another (my oldest installation), quite soon. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I wonder how much storage your backups of your (Arch Linux) installations take (for your three OSes) and how many versions for each installation !INDEED. 🤓

Each of the 3 Arch installations is on a 1TB NVMe SSD, and each also has another 1TB SSD to which I clone regularly. So 6TB in total. I only have the most recent versions. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

6 TB of SSD storage seems expensive, but they are useful indeed for the long run. 🧘‍♂️💸🤓

I'm thinking how much 1 TB of data stored on either a centralized or decentralized cloud storage would cost (let's say on a monthly basis). 💸😅
