I also like doing it this way because then I'm my own archive of old software installers. So if a new version comes out busted, run the old installer! Doesn't always help if it's internet connected, but it's nice to have something.
And I think even my vast amount of history is maybe only 100GB on my backup HDD, if it's larger it's from occasional random large files lol.
