<p>most of these things are version-controlled and replicated at least once (and i didn't lose any .git directories because */* doesn't select them), which is why i don't really do backups (except for really important stuff like contracts and evidence and so on); when your code is almost entirely open-source and globally distributed it feels wrong to waste space and time copying it over slow (compared to hundreds of GB of checkouts) WiFi in a cronjob</p>
