For years I've been paranoid about losing the Continental League to a crash or a hard drive failure, so I've always kept archives. But it's pretty massive now - each annual zipped up archive is 3, 4, 5 Gb. I have my pre-2000 EWB era spreadsheets backup up to multiple places including the cloud. And I just bought a new 4TB drive as an extra local backup that already has my 2020 saved game files backed up.
And in the garage I have several boxes of 3.5" floppies that include early-to-mid-90s data files as well as the Earl Weaver II installation disks. I don't have a drive that will read them, and I doubt they're still usable but I can't bring myself to throw them out.
