Hello all,
I am not sure if this is the right subreddit for it but going to try mu luck anyway.
First a bit of background: I lived in the UK for about 7 years and then had to moved back to India about 8 years ago, quite suddenly. I left a lot of stuff in my friend's garage. This is my first trip back to UK so I am emptying her garage that she so graciously provided to store my stuff. Most of the stuff is going to charity or bin. I am making arrangements to ship some sentimental, emotional value stuff to India.
Now coming to my issue: over the years I have accumulated quite a few hard drives and CDs as data backups. I am fairly sure I have almost all the data in my cloud account but I can't be sure. So here are my questions:
- Is there a way for me to check this data (USB-A and dvd drives) here and transfer to my cloud?
- If not, is there a limit for traveling with multiple hard drives? Remember, I am not even sure that they will still work so can't power them on if airport security asks me to.
- What will be the safest way of disposing these hard drives if either they do not work or if I already have it on my cloud. These hard drives/cds have sensitive personal data and photos so can't discard them unless I am absolutely sure that the data can't be retrieved from these.
- If this is not the right subreddit for it, would you happen to know where I can post these questions? I fly out on Thursday (writing on a Sunday evening).
Thank you in advance!
