It is interesting to think back on the websites we created twenty or so years ago that we looked at only occasionally. We would check on them every year or two without realizing eventually that the server hosting them would be junked. On the plus side storage is becoming cheaper. Avoiding the loss of our photos is a matter of the redundancy we build into our backup systems. Storing everything in the cloud? Better trust the service and pay attention if they ever go out of business. One backup is probably not enough really: that's how we lost so many websites in the first place. So stay redundant people. Certainly some online games are examples that you can never go home to, but I think a lot of classic games are constantly in a state of rerelease or remaster. Vintage gaming is about level of effort. While you can't really go home, you can get pretty close.
