Really it's a bit daft. The secondary SSD I ordered didn't arrive for a while, and I got inpatient.
I moved as much as I could onto some spare USB sticks and used them to pass the files along to the new build. I prioritised my photo archive (backed up online too) and project files first, then music, and then assorted videos and images.
I prioritised the ones which spoke to me the most, which I came back to often, those which inspired nostalgia, and those which I felt would probably be gone in the next few years. It's a little short sighted, but I was strapped for storage.
The migration was only this month, and while I wiped my old SSD to use as an extra drive in this build, the harddrive which contained my old downloads folder is still in my possession... And only now is it coming to me that I can just plug it in to my current build and transfer the files

In terms of proper backups, I've yet to get something set up. My photo archives are backed up online and on multiple USB drives, and everything I migrated is on my new build and also on a series of USB drives... Again, I'll probably prioritise personal files moreso than random videos I downloaded, but it's given me food for thought.
