    The official repo is only about 80GB, I have an old copy from when I was running an airgapped system. Not sure about the AUR, it's probably in the TBs range though.

    AUR might not be as big as you think. It would wouldn't work for offline tho since many AUR packages pull archives from websites during the build process.

    Oh yeah, didn't think about that. Having a bunch of PKGBUILD files isn't very useful.

    I guess you could compile all the things, if you had a lot of spare processing power. A once a year snapshot would probably be enough for anything short of a Mad Max future.
