No, I didn't. Annoyingly, I did have a friend who'd been staying with us during lockdown — he was here "for a few weeks while his house purchase went through" when it hit — who had purchased a new backup server of his own and was mocking me into compliance when I admitted I didn't have proper backups. I had *almost* got round to buying a shiny new machine of my own when the RAID failed in the machine that was lists.infradead.org, and I realised that the crappy Dell hardware RAID controller had *already* dropped a disk for some reason without me realising, so it was now completely gone. So the last "backup" is from when the lists were last hosted on a different machine of mine, before it was all moved over to the now-dead one. And is from May 2018. > Doubtless that's why this has all come to the wrong email address again, > and presumably I'll have to change them all again :-( Yes. Apologies for that. It's backed up now.... not that that helps. Maybe after next time I'll start *verifying* my backups too.
