How large do back ups get?

Snarf054 · 01-10-2014, 10:56 AM

Decided I should probably actually get around to backing up my game files last night. I have 3 of them. Two solo and an online league. So I grabbed a 4GB flash drive I had sitting around and starting to do my back ups. Got two on it and then ran out of room. The smaller of the two I did get on it is a whopping 1.5 GB. My question is if I keep backing them up on a regular basis am I going to run out of room with two on the same drive eventually?

The larger the league, the larger the back-up.

The longer a league runs, the more data there is to back-up.

So yes, as each season passes, your league files/back-ups will grow.

Only as large as you want them to be.

Not baseball, but my mind thought of Jared Lorenzon.

My EBL vs MLB league which has full MLB history i started in the 1999 season, is at 2.6 GB. I do not use the almanac, i think i would be over 4 GB if i were ti use that. I am in the 2019 season with 5 ML's MLB has full minors. EBL just has AAA, although I am added 2 ML teams and AA next season. Forgot who it was on here who has had a ong running league but I had thought he said at some point that his league was around 9 GB after 300 years.
