   Hi, Fediverse friends,

   I have been busy with a technical glitch. I needed to restore a backup of my Wordpress author website, my backup service had a glitch, and to make a sad story short, I am currently rebuilding my author website.

   I may shut down my private Mastodon server and move to an established server.

   My server is more work and money than we anticipated.

   After this past week, I’m inclined to spend less time on technical stuff.

   I’ll let you know if I’m going to move.

     @Teri_Kanefield This is a shame. I've got my server one year in and it runs like clockwork. I've also got server level backups so I can roll back to any day in the past.

     I use Blogvault for Wordpress backups ... one click restore.

     You shouldn't have to abandon your Mastodon server as part of this; it's your identity, and not worth the effort to try to move people again. Just get a good robust server level backup in place for it.

     Have your tech support give me a call like he did before if you want to explore.

     Also, there might be multiple ways to recover.
