Well, not a noob, more like an idiot 😂 EDIT: Yes, on the same drive as my Home folder, etc. And yes, technically they’re snapshots, not backups.

    Yeah, snapshots. It would make more sense to store them on a different drive, but I can’t add an additional drive into my PC (it’s a prebuilt so I’m waiting until I can afford a new PC) and I can’t be bothered with saving them to an external hard drive.

      To be fair, I wouldn’t consider storing it on one additional drive in the same PC to be backup either. One theft, lightning strike, fire or even just a stupid mistake on your own part and that “backup” is a goner

      Why not just get a bigger case and upgrade the prebuilt over time? A PC is inherently modular, you can replace what you’ve already got pretty easily, piece by piece. Unless you think all of the components are trash and you want to completely start over, of course.

      Even still, an upgraded GPU or CPU will make an immediate impact even on shitty hardware.
