So call me an 'information hoarder'. I don't mind. It's basically a form of laziness - I don't want to have to go through all the hassles of getting that information back after it has disappeared. (Like one famous BitCoin searcher.) I try my hardest to never throw away information. I have been known to rummage around in my system's archives to find source-code that I have written in COBOL or BASIC back in the mid 1980s. I even have tax information that is around 30 years old. I always back up laptops before they get thrown away. Sometimes it's just quicker and easier to back stuff up in 'raw mode' (a whole disk, including empty space, partition tables, etc) and work on that disk-image later when I have time to extract the wanted file-system information out of it.
