I use FBackup. It's free and i have it running on a daily schedule. Backs up all my files to an external drive everyday at 5pm.
I also have a portable dual hard drive that i save a backup copy every Friday. It is set to mirror copy on the second drive.
I keep all the backing paper left from my laminator. That means i have allot of rolls of the stuff. I use it to cover my work tables as need be and also use it on the floor when i know i will be cutting long runs of vinyl. Normally 8 foot lengths work. 4 feet behind the cutter and 4 feet in...
i would not do it for a customer (have refused some), but i did wrap my shop truck over primer in allot of areas. This has been 5 years or so ago. Even now the vinyl is holding up other rusted parts together.

Hard drives are cheap. I keep everything. I have access to files that are over 20 years old. "Sometimes" i might get a request that makes me have to go deep in those archives. Especially old logos.

My right shoulder hurt allot last year. I think it was caused by bad sleeping position.
Now it's just a constant soreness. I can handle that.
The older you get the more sore you are and the longer it takes to heal...
Exercise works wonders to prevent that.
Don't know your setup but i had found with my Roland printer (no take up reel). I have to put some tension on the banner material when it is coming out of the printer. Once i have enough length, i tape up the material to a table surface and put a cardboard vinyl core which has some weight inside...
