I mostly post to Facebook publicly rather than friends only, so my life story is more accessible to any future robot builders. This is limited because your life experiences include interactions with others, who might not want them public. I also use Google photos and timeline, and I have a somewhat outdated website.
Human long term memory is 10^9 bits, but a digital bio can be larger by remembering things you forgot. But uploading doesn't require restoring all your memories. You only need enough to convince everyone who knew you in your carbon based life that the robot is still you. In 100 years all those people will be dead or uploaded, so it wouldn't even matter if all those memories were made up. I am not religious. I believe that your senses of consciousness, qualia, and free will come from positive reinforcement of your thoughts, perceptions, and actions, respectively. This motivates you to not die, which in turn gives you more offspring. Other people use religion to cope with their evolved fear of death by promoting, with no evidence, the theory that they have a soul that goes to heaven. But anyone who believes that AI is possible must logically reject this idea if they accept that all human behavior is computable.
