Found a carefully stapled together set of paper pouches containing DVDs, that have backups from the very end of 2007. This should be a chuckle.
My backup regime at the time genuinely consisted of "make a giant gzip-compressed tarball of my home folder, then split it into DVD sized chunks, burn it to disc, put each one in a carefully folded paper pouch, then staple the pouches together and label the outer sheet".
Which I find quite funny, because I can literally see the progression on the disc surface from "takes up 2/3 of a DVD" in April '07, to "Takes up 7/8 of a DVD" in June that same year, to "Takes up a full DVD" by the end of July, to "Two DVDs and a CD" in October, to "Two and 2/3 DVDs" in December.
I think by the next year, I'd given up on that and ... I'm not sure what I was doing at that point.
