That’d be help for the people doing the reanimation, not the reanimated you?
Being a bit weird, I might actually prefer a cryonic preservation where the people reanimating me get basically zero information beyond my physical remains, and will need to bring me back and ask me if they want to know my name. That way I’d know that whoever gets brought back will probably have their mind-state pretty closely causally connected to the one I had going in the suspension, assuming they will have a mind at all. Having lots and lots of lifelog information seems like it might increase the chances of the reanimators producing scrambled actors who are good at parroting my surface mannerisms to match the recordings, but aren’t internally much more of a continuation of me than a very capable actor doing Napoleon is the continuation of the actual Napoleon.
