Well, for psychological reasons, I agree with John Clark's initial response.The goal, I am guessing is restoration, in principle, as Brent Meeker's comment, earlier. I am guessing that file restoration from the past, if done exact enough would render full resurrection or file restoration of us, complete to the point of engaging in these emails, and then doubting that a replica would really be you? If it is based on quantum information, one physicist writer, started off her essay, stating that the information that is us, that is the universe is preserved in the quantum. The physicist in question is Sabine Hossenfelder, in here article about natural evolving quantum computers, aka block holes. After you die, your body’s atoms will disperse and find new venues, making their way into oceans, trees and other bodies. But according to the laws of quantum mechanics, all of the information about your body’s build and function will prevail. The relations between the atoms, the uncountable particulars that made you you, will remain forever preserved, albeit in unrecognisably scrambled form – lost in practice, but immortal in principle. Good enough for me, on this.... Now the rest is engineering and data restoration. Easy, huh?

Information about the past is available to us (at least according to our present understanding of the laws of physics). It's the future that we have only limited information about.

Universe can think whatever it wants, but just because the laws of physics had worked until now, doesn't mean that they will work exactly the same in the future, or that there is future. I'm really dissatisfied that we can't change the laws of physics, modify them, and cannot have all the information about time and space to explore... The moment of "now" is the event horizon of the 4-dimensional black hole, past this horizon, the information becomes inaccessible to us (stuck in the past), and I really don't like living next to a black hole...

One problem we have that is close, is Recovering Information of the Minds of the Past. We plan to have a hierarchy of problems, to represent the connections. You're only completely dead, as opposed to mostly dead, when Information Theoretical Death is reached. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information-theoretic_death http://www.evidencebasedcryonics.org/tag/information-theoretic-death/ That's why I shelled out $80000 to have my brain frozen in liquid Nitrogen when I become mostly dead.
