Bad idea (IMHO). The larger your library gets the longer it takes to RAR it. Plus, backing it up will take longer and longer. And you cannot use a program such as FreeFileSync to do the backup. You get very little space savings. The hassle is not worth it.

You can get an Amazon Basics 256GB A2 microSD card for $32.99. That will do quite well for backups. It does come with an SD adapter.
