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.

You
really have a reason to keep multiple backups of everything. That's some serious dedication and I think it's great!! You can buy a USB external 3.5 floppy drive for as little as $10.

I'm sure you could backup each floppy into your HDD/SSD and have it in the cloud in no time at all.
Nobody has answered yet, but I was wondering if any of you with super long OOTP saved games have also created an Almanac in the last year or so. I'm so curious to know how big of a file it is.
Oh, I've been meaning to ask... Has anyone kicked off a new saved game starting in 1871, the first year that ootp has data on, and if you have how far did you make it or is it still on-going?
