    It’s less than 90 gig to do a full backup. I can have the sum total of human knowledge on a 1TB external SDD, and still have room for Skyrim and my modlist.

      Even less so if you exclude images

        Those images are important, I would keep them. Wikipedia just scrapes the surface of information, a picture can give a bigger insight.

      That’s only the text without any media. If you wanted to save all media on Wikimedia Commons, that would be about 420tb.

        You get the images, just not audio or video files.
