Just had this thought, and realized all my backups had been through a flood. I wound up with several damaged disks, but was able to get all the content off of them, damage was to the outside edges, and most of them didn’t have much data written.
I have a Blu-ray burner, but I’ve never burned one (only a couple DVD’s). Probably never will.

This is cursed, unnecessary, unexpected and impressive all at the same time.
