But it was largeish (for 2012 anyway; badly compressed) so I copied it off to a thumb drive or something. No idea which one or where.

Yeah. 2008-2012 or so was an awful period for personal archiving. Interesting data growing fast, convenient storage not so much.

I've been digging thru HDDs, CDs, and DVDs from 2005-2011 trying to recover worthwhile stuff onto reasonable storage. Huge task. So far it all fits on a single $36 thumb drive.

I have a similar forensic trawl on my todo list, except mine goes back to 1992. (Stuff before that was Amiga/c64, unreadable formats.)

Much earlier and there was no USB or CDR, so it's isolated to a few HDs, mostly still in their boxes.

Actually I forgot I have a couple Bernoulli drive disks/carts with corrupted Stacker volumes containing (potentially) fragments of long-lost archives of DOOM modding history.

I don't quite trust http://archive.org to not have a big fire/flood/theft/meteor/terrorist/lawsuit. Library of Congress maybe.
