A question for those of you that use Davinci Resolve. What is your strategy for archiving your projects?

I keep it all, whether it's actually been used in the project or not.  It's only the spoiled clips that I delete.  I have one folder tree for active projects with per-project folders below that, and then when I finish a project I export it to a ".DRP" file so that I can delete it from Resolve's database and then move the project's folder tree over into a second folder tree that I keep for archived projects.

Both active and archive folders are on my online data drive, which is backed up using weekly and offsite monthly cycles.  I'm in the process of upgrading from 8TB online and backup drives to 16TB drives because I'm probably going to run out of space on the 8TB drive within a year or so.
