When one spend enough time using window managers configuration files can pile up fast.. How do you keep them safe?

Do you copy to an external drive?
Do you upload to a cloud service?
Do you have a dedicated git repository?

dood, i backup all my files.

you can't just backup your dotfiles. you should at least backup your non-distro files, too. ideally the whole system, so you can quickly restore when something really bad happens.

i backup to external drives (usb thumbdrive and external HD) and then keep the backups in other rooms. some encrypted, very important files i sync additionally to a cloud provider, in case the whole appartment burns down or so while I'm out.
