I’ve run into this a lot. You store a backup of some device without really thinking of it, then over time the backup gets migrated to another drive but the device it ran on is lost and can’t be replaced. I remember reading a post years ago where someone commented that you don’t need a better storage solution, you need fewer files in simpler formats. I never took his advice, but I think he might have been right.
