Backups #98

Open nottrobin opened 3 years ago

Currently I believe in most cases Discourse is the only place where the documentation content lives. If Discourse gets corrupted or destroyed somehow, I think we've basically lose that content. Individual documentation editors may have downloaded documentation sets, but not in any formal way so we can't rely on this.

We should ask IS if the back up content in our Discourse installations.

Then we should think about Discourses outside our control like discuss.kubernetes.io, which contains our content. How should we back this up?

I just found out we do have backups in discourse probably by IS? https://discourse.ubuntu.com/admin/backups

Oh nice. That's probably OK then - although it might be worth pinging off an RT to IS to just check that they're happy with that, considering that we have editorial content in Discourse.

Don't know what to do about discuss.kubernetes.io. Maybe we should contact their mods or something to ask if they back that content up sufficiently?
