I have been working on a backup feature for nostr.build account holders for the past couple of days. Now I am in the testing phase. What that means is that you will be able to download all your media to your own computer or (in the future) ask us to mirror your media to the bucket of your choosing (any S3 provider) with the write only credentials. The backup will be available to ALL account holders regardless of their status (expired or unpaid). Once we complete that, we will give each expired account an additional grace period of one month (on top of one year you have today) where we will automatically backup your media, delete it from the serving edge, and keep your backup for 30 days. We do not want to delete your data without your permission and potentially causing you stress. ๐ซก

This could maybe work for my BitPopArt site @chad !? Because this week something happend to the @npub18m76...q955 relay and now my whole site is mixed up. (Missing content after all my work building the site) Really annoying so try to find the right solution for my content on #nostr
THANKS.. for everything you are dojng and delivering ๐๐ซ
Relying on relay for a site is not the best move, at least your media is safe if you kept it with us ๐ซก

Thats what I got to understand now yes :) People often forget normies โcreativesโ donโt know about this things ๐
๐คฃ We are not all Devs on #nostr or at least some not ๐คช
This is the kind of infrastructure work people only appreciate after losing data somewhere else.
This is fantastic. Thanks dude.
Yep, backups are important, especially when you donโt need them. That is why all media uploads to nostr.build are duplicated to two object storage providers immediately, and the two providers are in different region too, so we can sleep well ourselves ๐
Appreciate that- I've paid for an account a few months back, but I've taken to hosting my media on my own haven relay recently and I'd love to be able to transfer my media. I also wonder though, if there's a way to secure images and media we uploaded before buying a paid account?
That can be added too, yes. Next on the priority list
Using Nostr.build is gonna be such a flex ๐ฅ
Thank you so much for all the hard work! I love Nostr.Build I use it for all my webdev media hosting. I would love to be able to mirror the media to a blossom server one day!
Not to blossom, but to a bucket of your choice

Thankyou very much ๐

Little demo of how it works. Not released yet, until I test it completely.

Pretty sure my old account is more than a year expired but I appreciate you guys giving me the ability to back it up.
Yes, once we have that rolled out, I may add a consent screen where you can state that โyes, I downloaded my backups, please go ahead and delete my mediaโ
๐๐ซ
Iโll start gradually enabling backup feature today, starting with the biggest fans (Advanced and Creator account holder), we are forever grateful for your support. ๐โโ๏ธ
