How big is your SimplePlanes Aircraft (and blueprints) Backup/Archive?

6,748 Kikikokikomarumaru15000  yesterday

Mine's currently sitting on 1.6 GB of space, of which most of it is just 7 duplicates of my backup from different times, each containing like 600-1400 aircraft files. Zip File version is 533MB.

I was wondering because I was uploading my SP backup files to my laptop and my drive for backup, problem is google drive sucks very much on mobile (can't upload folders), and also uploading non-zip files (especially one with ~7333 individual files) to my laptop also sucks and is also also very slow, so I am forced to zip my backup files and do it again. And it worked! Now I get why people upload zip files instead of whatever download hell awaits if they don't. I used ZArchiver to zip up my files btw. it's good.

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR FILES. TO YOUR COMPUTOR, YOUR LAPTOP, YOUR SHOE, YOUR DRIVE, YOUR PHONE, YOUR EARRINGS, YOUR EVERYTHING, OR ELSE YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING, EVEN YOUR HOPE. I learned this via observation.

ANYWAYS! again, mine is on 1.6GB of space (533MB zip file size). What about yours?
