  • So your issue sounds is one of disorganization rather than backup or migration.

    Use something like WizTree or WinDirStat, which will help you visualize the data on your disk, and hopefully locate your critical files. You’ve got no choice other than to grind it out and get your shit organized.

    Once done, migrate your newly organized files onto a new disk. Unless you want to play with weird drivers, I’d recommend you format the new disk as ExFat to maximize compatibility between Linux and Windows.


  • I understand the importance of backups and regularly practice doing so, even if not to the fullest extent.

    File history is not a backup, and certainly not a backup strategy. If your data truly is critical, which given your lengthy post explaining how far you’re going towards not backing up your data, look at 3-2-1, then reassess how critical your data is. At a minimum, you should have an offline copy on another disk, and not just a volume shadow copy.

    TL;DR: Cofounder of open source project says super popular platform using their project needs to pay up for inane reasons. Chaos ensues.

    In summary:

    WP Engine is one of the most popular third party platforms built on top of WordPress.

    They have a link and images on their webpage referencing that they are built on top of Wordpress (this is legal).

    The former cofounder of Wordpress said that they are illegally using the Wordpress trademark.

    WP Engine sends Cease and Desist.

    WordPress Cofounder doubles down, blocks WP Engine and demanded WP Engine pay licensing fees for using their branding.

    This pissed off a lot of people.

    WP Engine sues. For a lot, including extortion, abuse of power, and asserts the cofounder of WordPress has criminally made false statements to the IRS.

    The Executive Director for Wordpress resigns, presumably in solidarity with WP Engine and the community.
