I personally archive everything I have ever downloaded into project or site folders. I use a couple of TB in dropbox for redundancy, ensuring that if I accidentally delete something I can get it back within 30 days.
I stopped relying on: (a) Other peoples web sites, as demonstrated by a plethora of other sites going dark over the years, including recently the Retrobrew computers (ex N8VEM project) going dark - It held a heap of data associated with various Z80 based projects I have. It was fortunate that the site came back a while later, so I could get the missing files. (b) My own local hard disks, when I lost drives because I didn't replace them after they were 4 years old. So, yea - I have the bits of the M100 weeb site that are important to me backed up here. Years of experience has said I have to be responsible for my own destiny....
