I guess I’m a dummy, because I never even thought about this. Maybe I got lucky, but when I did restore from a backup, I didn’t have any issues. My containerized services came right back up like nothing was wrong. Though that may have been right before I successfully hosted my own (now defunct) Lemmy instance. I can’t remember, but I think I only had sqlite databases in my services at the time.
I don’t care much who wins, but I think it would be cool for McDavid to break the points record. It would almost be cooler if he broke that record and lost, because that would be a really fun trivia question.
