May donations are starting for server costs etc., which reminded me can an administrator zip all customs in the Customsforge database, then upload it to Google Drive for emergency reasons?

 

I dread the day access is no longer available!

 

I expect to be playing 10 to 20 yrs from now. Access to a compressed archive enables users to pick as they choose - much like the 50,000 guitar pros in rars.

 

 

What do you think?

I doubt that it's going to happen, as the Admins remove CDLCs from the database as soon as they become ODLCs.  It kind of keeps us ethical. :)

 

There's nothing to stop you downloading every single song on here yourself, though.  :lol:  :ph34r:

Also, it's not possible. The database only provides links to external hosters no files directly. So it would always involve someone doing it by hand...

Do you know something I don't?  :unsure:

@@missis sumner, wannaCry a bit? :D

All of my customs are in a single folder on my Google Drive. If I ever lost my original files on my hard drive and Customsforge went under, I'd still have what I have in Google Drive. But zipping all of the customs on here and putting them on Google Drive would be quite the feat. I have 125 customs in my Google Drive folder, and those alone add up to around 5GB. Add in the other hundreds already on CF and the ones being added everyday, I just don't see how what you're suggesting is possible.

 

So like someone else said, backup what you can.

we're up to about 26 / 27 Thousand Songs... it would take a while...

but yeah Agreed it's always nice to have backups....

I Try to backup the 1500 Songs I Have for eg...

But yeah it would be nice to be able to bulk download again if something did happen...

Figured The Discography Projects at the very least could get their own Backups...
