Is the goal in this scenario preservation of human knowledge for rebuilding society, or trying to end the conflict?

Several possible scopes for this database:

1. Foundational - Able to bedrock any other knowledge

2. Comprehensive Civilization - Cover continuation of current society, rebuild info,

3. Comprehensive - Cover continuation of current civilization, rebuilding of civ, Cybersecurity Offensive and Defensive.

4. Extinction Insurance - A savings account for Human Knowledge, a survival toolkit, safe haven, Re-Human Seed File.

It would probably be determined by the process taken as something like this has never been attempted to my knowledge. As a Software Engineer I would Plan A for 4, have a dedicated team for 1 finishing early, to carry that team over and use that knowledge to aim for 3, in which case 2 might be the result.
