Database backups
We should regularly create independent public backups of the article database to prevent such losses from occurring again. (see: https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/ ) CurtainMan (talk) 22:48, 17 December 2023 (EST)

- When I am not there, someone else needs to do it. 😉 Thanks nonetheless, Tabby. Nice signature, by the way! CurtainMan (talk) 12:57, 3 January 2024 (EST)
- By the way, thanks for creating backups too, Tabby! Good work! If the past of Dramatica teaches us anything, it is "no backups, no mercy". CurtainMan (talk) 19:16, 5 January 2024 (EST)
- I called it. 😆 Good thing this iteration of Dramatica publishes regular backups! We have learnt from our wobbly past, it seems. CurtainMan (talk) 14:51, 3 September 2024 (CDT)
Suggestion
I am glad this iteration of Dramatica has learnt from the past and publishes regular full backups. More websites should do this.
But I have a suggestion: Text and media should be in separate files because text is far smaller than media, so the text backups can be done more frequently.
Also, text-only backups should be compressed using 7z or xz -9. They are very effective on text. It should result in less than a twentieth of the file size.
