Does anyone has any tips for efficiently order 15+ years worth of data for backing it up?

I've been tasked to file and classify around 7TB of files that are poorly organized so I can make a decent backup out of it...

It goes from valuable photos to all sort of documents (.pdf, .docx, etc) to even engineering related files... 

The thing is a mess... folders are named after the date they where created... but there are a lot of folders and files repeated several times

That depends on what the data is and what the requirements are. If it's just random files, the simplest would be to file them by date.

Upload it to the piratebay, let them back it up for you ?

Once the back up has been completed you can try tools to organize your files like this one: http://www.dropitproject.com/

Does a couple of SeaGate's employees just go around and search anything backup/HDD related in this forum and then advertise their products lmao

As long as the solutions they offer are appropriate for the problem, I see zero problem with that.
