Thank you. Questions:

-if the peers did force close, would I automatically see it on-chain thus not having to worry about channel backup?

-How likely is it the peers force-closed simply because my node was offline for well over one year?

-Would node packages a couple of years back auto generate channel backups as a default or would the user need to do something to set it up? Im pretty sure I never generated a channel backup from anything I explicitly did.

I might be able to see some small files in filesystem on old dying VM disk node but clonezilla cannot copy the disk, and fsck fails.

Have you searched your node on amboss to see how many channels are still “open?” (Type your node in amboss.space and click on “channel map”)

If it has been down over a year I would imagine your peers have already force closed and the funds are back on chain.

How do I get "name" or address or whatever identifier of my old/bad node? It doesnt/cant sync due to disk corruption & in efforts to recover the chain and also index were wiped. Will any of the "apps" on the node still work without any sync/bitcoin?
