So I ask my brother if he's still got that big hard drive with all his collected digital library from working in academia, if he'd like me to back it up.
They're organized in directories A through Z.
There's subdirectories inside those, of course, so not that bad, right?
There are 3,133 subdirectories under "R".
About 5TB of mostly text, with some PDFs, images, etc.
It would probably take me days just to read the _titles_ of what he collected over decades.

@AskTheDevil just too much information to store or keep track of these days, just sayin'
@zoidette A lot of this is information on how to do things and understand them. We've been preparing for a world where people lose information on how to build, do and understand things for a while now.
I've already lived through some dark ages. We're laying in candles.
