I use emulators that play directly from (.iso) or (.img) files, however as you probably know, most ROMs are downloaded as archives.

Do you backup your ROMs in their downloaded archived format? Or as uncompressed files?

    Yeah just buy a 1tb (or more) drive and backpack everything to it. Keep it in a safe place and it should be fine for 5 to 10 (maybe more) years.

        Nice. Yeah I hear that. I saw someone else’s comment here that they have a torrent of all their games as their backup. As long as you had an offsite torrent copy of your files that seems like and excellent idea.
