I was doing full backups back then (late 00s). But after never really restoring them I thought to myself why? And I came to the conclusion that a fresh install was always preferred because I could start new. Getting rid of all those unused executables and libraries that were slowing down my machine was a bliss.
And after all... all I need is the data to be backed up (what I regularly do with my NAS) - "backing up data is the new system backup" imho
Proograms are installed manually as I need them (never bothered me tbh) or via ninite.com/
Configs are checked into a github repo and easy to setup
