Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I can't remember the name of an excel spreadsheet I created years ago, which has continually matured with lots of changes. I often have to search for it of the many I have for different purposes.
Trusting your memory is a naive, amateur approach.
If the spreadsheet is important it sounds like it would be part of the 4 GB that was backed up.
The key here being that you actually remember the file exists, because it's important. Some other random spreadsheet you don't even remember exists because you haven't needed it since forever is probably not all that important to backup.
If you loose something without ever realizing you lost it, it was not important so there would be no reason to make a backup.
Psst, you missed the point and need to re-read the thread.
You put that with everything else similar into a folder, which is backed up. Mine is called "Files". If there's something in there that I don't need backed up. It still gets backed up. If there's something very large in there that I don't need backed up, it gets removed in one of my "oh shit these backups are huge" purges.
So you do remember that you have several frequently-used spreadsheets.
