As of now I have to care for my (digital) backups, that is, I cannot ignore them for N years. I had to copy things from discettes to magnetic tape, from tape to hard drives, etc. I have to periodically check my backups if they are restorable. That's life.

It's the same for documents, as for secrets, which I have to transfer from one medium to another, I have to check that I remember secrets and passphrases. And places. As I already said, that's life.
