MODERATORS
I did keep local backups of the project, which is how I was able to get it up and running on GitLab quickly.
I meant general computer backups, I just had trouble phrasing it correctly. As in, you and I probably didn't backup our computers properly until we lost something. That's how most of us get into backups. Similar here.
Ah. I was always good about backups, but I never tested them. I used Timeshift for backups, and when I needed to recover a backup whoops! No user data. I fixed it to backup user data, and whoops! Still no user data.
Another time I used a proper backup client, but when I went to restore it it overwrote itself and so it failed and I lost the backup. Always test your backups.
