Our database provider provides backups automatically. I would be very surprised if they lost it. I think the largest remaining risk is that I accidentally issued a command to delete everything. In that worst case scenario, Iād be able to get one-off copies of the database that Iāve made at various points.
Thereās still a single point of failure at the level of my organization. If something (maybe a lawsuit? seems unlikely) were to force us to intentionally take the site down, youād want to have backups outside of our control. For that you might want to see this question, which your comment may have prompted.
Canāt you release the backups on torrent in the event of a legal shutdown? Without actually admitting that you āleakedā the data, of course. Considering how successful piracy has been, making a first-party backup persist on the net seems like a low hanging fruit to me.
Short answer: Yes.

No. The backups contain data like user emails and private messages that are, well, private. We expose all our public information over our API.
