Firesong she/her Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 This is just my paranoia acting up, but are there people keeping backups of Arcanum in case anything happens to the servers, like they get damaged or there is a solar flare or anything? I just worry as it contains a ton of information that could be easily lost, so I feel it would be smart to have backups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagerunner he/him Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 We do have backups, yes, and the internet archive at web.archive.org could also be used for recovery of the text itself. (We even use that for links to stuff that Brandon deletes from his website.) If there's some catastrophic event that wipes out our backups and the internet archive... well, you'll have bigger things to worry about than WoBs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed there would be, but my pessimism and paranoia definitely made me want to make sure for sure. Thanks. Kinda tempted to try and go through and transcript it all, but that would be an absolutely stupid amount of effort. It is difficult even transcription a bit of my personal worldbuilding notes, and that is far less than the total word count of all of Archanum, lol. At least I would presume.

Mestiv he/him Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Don't worry about backup, Pagerunner has it all memorized Seriously though, there is backup for both: the database with all text content and media sources. The data is stored with different company than the one that hosts Arcanum server. I think we're safe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just making sure to calm myself down, because again, I am a very anxious and paranoid person. But I am not going to vent about that an a public forum, just my own personal issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
