Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Old hard drive data consolidation (alien.top)

Over the last 20 years I have amassed a big pile of drives and would like to store and catalog any user data so I can comfortably destroy the physical drives. I’d like to remove os files but keep the file structure, users folders (probably sanitized of appdata, etc). Is there anything out there that does anything along these lines or do I need to start building one?
