I take screenshots of my computer screen every minute since 2008. I've a dedicated 2TB hdd storing these archives compressed with 7z It takes just about 100-200MB/day so it's quite easy to store. These archives saved me from data loss a few times (due to powerloss, or bad mistakes). I just browse through the archive to look for the screenshot where I was coding to recover them by typing it again. this is the screenshot tool I use https://github.com/soruly/TimeSnap
