Heute ist Welttag der Datensicherung #WorldBackupDay. Und während unser @admin verzweifelt sein Zip-Drive sucht (na, wer kennt das noch? 🤓): auch unser Gehirn verliert hin und wieder Daten. Wie war das nochmal mit dem Gerund im Englischen? Ist das jetzt ein en- oder ein ett-Wort im Schwedischen? Welche Zutaten müssen in eine Lütticher Waffel? Nehmt uns gerne als euer Backup. 😊 Das Restore gibt es unter volkshochschule.de im Kursfinder. 😉

On #WorldBackupDay recall the year (2011-ish) missing from our 2006–2025 archive of @accordionnoir radio episodes at AccordionNoir.org
🪗

A change in our radio station’s podcast system meant we saved effort, and thought it was making backup copies for us, but we didn’t check — for a year 😳

So who has copies of the All-#Tuba episode of our #Accordion show, and the rest of that year? Not us 😩

Here’s the lost Tuba-Noir promo — check your backups

@iFixit You are doing a disservice to celebrate #worldbackupday

I declare today #worldrestoreday, a day to restore an old #minecraft world from last year's backup! Make sure restore actually works.

Here's the script for today:

Find your _printed_ restore instructions and key.

With extra computer or fresh VM, install minecraft.

On the VM: go to your backup software and restore the wold.

(No cheating: you can't look for passwords or notes on the main machine!)

Play a bit to see it works!

Today is World Backup day. And well, to many of us #Minecraft worlds, especially our first ones, are special.

They can be a real time capsule for future us. So please, make sure your Minecraft worlds (and not only!) are properly backed up, check if you can recover from the backup, make sure you have multiple copies, including at least one off-site. :blobfoxwinkmlem:
