Well ultimately no information about the past is truly lost as far as we know. A hyper-advanced civilization could collect all the thermal radiation from earth reflected off of various celestial bodies and recover a near complete history, at least in principle. So I think the more you make it easy for yourself to be reconstructed/​resurrected/​what have you the sooner it would likely be, and the less alien of an environment you would find yourself in after the fact. Cryo is a good example of having a reasonable expectation of where to end up barring catastrophe since you are preserving a lot of you in good form.
