Then they should not have much structure to them.
In my case, my data is highly structured so I can access a particular source by quickly zeroing in on it. This structure is always evolving, so I have to keep it on the computer.
If you are editing your data (or changing some structure in them) often, like perhaps daily (I do it a few times a day), then your back ups also need their own back ups cause using them everyday might crash them.
Then the volume of your back ups again becomes the point.
So what's the volume, or, how long does it take for you to back up your back ups? That's the issue I'm facing with backing up my data.
