   I have finally created a backup of the site data, htdocs. The 4TB scratch disk should be formatted once again, as the entire www-data directory set is no longer needed. I have already removed it from the NAS as it was supposed to be temporary.
   
   The recent database and htdocs mirror are being sent to the NAS, and all very old server data will be burned on two Blu-ray 25GB discs. That same data will remain on the older 1TB drive, but removed from the NAS.
   
   I have yet to mirror the site configuration; that was planned about two months prior to the upgrade.

     Some notes: the last backup of the site before the recent upgrade was March 22, 2017, though the size of that archive has a discrepancy of full vs packed and will test it. The January 15, 2017 archive is more trustworthy and that size is ~95GB unpacked. The March 22, 2017 archive should be ~110GB unpacked.
     
     The current September 6, 2023 archive is ~575GB unpacked due to the additional FTP archive data that was added since May 2018, though the FIC FTP archive may have been present in the 2017 archives, but that will be checked after retrieving the 1TB hard drive.

     Retrieved the 1TB drive and looked at the March 22, 2017 file. The archive is fine, there's just no unpacked file size calculation data stored in the .tar.gz archive for some reason.
     
     Also, the 2017 archives had the Abit and FIC FTP archives at the time. The Compaq FTP archive would then be added in May 2018.
