This will seem obvious to some but use your old games for back story and to flesh out your world. In the course of your sessions you are likely to generate hundreds if not more nonplayer characters. Use them to your advantage and to fill out your world. They are part of the background that makes the world seem real.
Not to mention history, locale, myths and more. Soak it up and use it. It eases the GM burden and also pays tribute to those valiant souls who braved your games and left their mark.
Definately. Makes me wish I had been a better file keeper to be honest. But that's ok. Still have decades of gaming left in me:)
