I couldn't access Mastodon for most of the day yesterday. I figured the server I'm on was down for whatever reason.
It got me thinking, though. What if the server never came back up? Is there a way I can create something like a backup for my account that I can take to another server if necessary?
I read the instructions for moving my account to a different server, but those instructions assume I am moving now. There was no mention as to whether the data export CSV files could serve as a a general backup to be used in the future if my server ceases to function or how that would work.
What is the best way to prepare for such a disaster?
