I mean, I am 40 now, but when I was a kid I would put tape over the punched hole on old AOL trial disks so I could write to them. I would save everything, because I worried I might need it some day.
I have since archived those hundreds of floppies into disk images on my current computer. It is kinda cool to still have my old stuff from 30 years ago.
I’m older and have saved most of the harddisks of computers I have had in the past. The missing harddisks either broke or were backed up on the ones I still have.
I recently started to back them all up on the raid I have. It’s so much fun !! Each hdd reflects a period of life with emails , photos and videos (on the newer ones). I need to find a way to access the old scsi disks though. Don’t have an adapter for those yet
Next I plan on using Google takeout to make a backup of my data in the cloud to my local raid. Similarly I have been backing up important files to the clouds. Love the redundancy !
