As for things like old game saves, old university assignments, and source files for old videos I finished years ago? 99% of that stuff, I would never touch in a decade anyway. It’s a shame to lose it, for sure. But because I couldn’t afford to protect everything I had, I ended up protecting none of what I had. I could have lost so much more.
I slowly came around to this line of thinking for my personal use – Have a small number of things I want to backup, and focus on securing + storing them safely, and accept that most everything else is ephemeral. This has the added benefit of making it easy to switch or upgrade machines.
Using security tag as there is no backup or data tag here :)
