code

I work as a developer, and I have many projects for most of them use GIT for versioning the code, I have some projects that are not code such as interfaces sketches, idea, etc..

currently I have a disorder with the backups before Dejadup used, but the downside comes when I want to restore my backups from Windows. Periodically change of operating system (Windows or Linux).

my question is which is better, copy each folder (project) directly to my external disk or create a repository (git - bare init) for each project I need or should do?
