i think it was during Swens acceptance speech at the video game awards where he thanked the amazing people at hasbro/wotc who helped to make bg3 a reality only to say how strange/sad it is that almost no one from the first meetings is still at the company in his next sentence.
depends on what you backup and how.
if it’s just “dumb” files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.
complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.
i’d guess for most people it’s enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.
