Are backups of this site being made by the mod team or the owner?

This is primarily a question to the mods and the owner, hoping that those who have the information see this.

I recently answered a question in a thread about making backups of one's stuff, and now I'm asking myself, taking into account that appearances of this site on the news and politicians trying to shut it down (although it most likely won't work) have increased over recent times and there is always the chance of a cyber-attack, are there actually any regular backup procedures being made and stored separately? Because I think it is important that over 2.6 million messages, many of which are genially useful information, should be available to every user at all times. So it only makes sense to have up-to-date backups available in order to be able to spin up a new website in the shortest possible downtime.

So we're still trying to get back the lost data and merge it. But if we can't do that, we have to make a decision. There are two backups and it comes with a question. Should we restore the data loss from 8-31 to 9-7, which means we will lose everything that has happened since or should we we...

Thank you for the answer. Good to know that it's a thing on this forum. I don't think it should be taken for granted that backups are being made regularly. That's why I asked.

Yep, I also thought about those threads. That's why I wrote "many of which" xD

The counting game is the most important thing on this website!
