I've been bit by the data hoarder bug. I'm trying to gather as much data from my life as possible. Now I'm currently in the process of trying to recover most, if not all data from all my hard drives from the years. Even recovering data that's not accessible. Besides pictures, videos, txt documents, and music, what else should I save that contains data that might be important, nice to have, or can help me visualize my life from over 10 years ago.

Does anyone have any tips for recovering data, and what files i should keep? Not worried about how much data I will take up, just want to save anything I can. Not expecting to recovering much of anything, but anything is better than nothing.
