Do what is important and then move one. The people you need to deal with will feel you've respected them, and you can get on with your life. Leave it running. Shoemaker, do not thank the elves. Just keep them supplied with leather and nails.
Storage is fleet, but memory lasts forever.
Your bookshelves and cabinets may groan from all you've saved, but that is not where your true wisdom resides. All that really matters is what is currently in you. When all else falls, the static stands. Backup the rest. And save your disks in a safe, dry place.
