Only if you wish it. I have always offered a Vigay-like service (though
with nowhere near his level of technical expertise, just the same
underlying principles) which is why I am happy to receive encrypted data
(so I can't read it anyway) and use my extensive -- and bordering on
famous[!] -- on-site and off-site multi-generational backup facilities
to others, so that they don't have to bother with all of that. I'll
take care of it...
It is genuinely meant kindly and constructively, and is merely an offer.
I really don't mind if no-one here takes me up on it.

It was only an example that perhaps everyone would recognise. It is
possible that I am getting paranoid in my old(er) age; but it is notable
that I never lose any data!
