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.

I messed up really bad and am now in way over my head. Just recently I’ve been working on categorizing ~10K reference pictures for a game I’m working on because I decided to dump all of them in vague folders such as vehicles, weapons, buildings, etc. Such has shot me in the foot so now I’m reorganizing everything with a more descriptive organizational structure which is based on sectors. Critical infrastructure (both public and private sectors), real estate, etc. It’s going to be hell but I should have cared more.
