How do you store old client projects?

This one's pretty self-explanatory: how do you store old client projects? My Workspace folder and my development database are getting pretty full. I'd normally just throw everything in another folder, but most are attached to Eclipse and I don't know how well it would work out to do that.

In Eclipse, I close project that are not in active development. I archive projects with a database export if they are no longer in development, and delete from Eclipse. It is not that difficult to reimport the project into Eclipse if needed.

I have a folder (ex_projs) that stores ex projects; works great. Because you won't need the majority of your old projects, how you keep them isn't that important. What's important is that you do.

It depends on the project, but yea.. if im just doing a fix for their existing site its not my responsibility to back up their stuff, there are companies that specialize in it or they can pay me to do it
