Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Not the top level directory, obviously.

For me, it would be my Camera directory. Worst case scenario would be to part ways with all the photos and videos I took for 15+ years, including the digital versions of a few hundred objects.

Losing 45TB sounds like a rough day. Glad to hear you have backups, bro.
