Backup your Tumblrs (Please!)
Hey there everyone! First of all: Iâm backing up every tumblr that will let me.
12/7/2018 is todays date, for referencing this later.Â
For my legal protection: I NEED YOUR PERMISSION! TO DOWNLOAD YOUR BLOG FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES. I can get in a *lot* of trouble for pulling this much data *without your permission*. With that in mind: Iâve got a google form thatâs going to let me back up your data. Fill this out please? Iâve had less than 20 blogs ask for this.Â
THE QUE
I donât want to see our history die. Who can I back up? EVERYONE! ANYONE!. EVERYTHING WE CAN. What can I back up: Everything thatâs *published* on your tumblr. Drafts, asks unanswered, messages, communications between people that are behind a login screen, I canât scrape. Iâm using the tumblr python .utills scrape. How much space do I have? ENOUGH. Iâve got 4tb now, and Iâm compressing files and moving them onto it as we speak. Iâve got the capacity to do 5 blogs at a time. If you visit my paypal or ko-fi, I can get more storage for us. It takes me eighty nine seconds to backup a blog with less than 5k posts. Seriously guys. Sides, mains, if youâve got your content on it, I want to back it up. If you include an email, when I have a chance, Iâll send you an archived copy of your blog. It will likely be a dropbox file, or a github file, behind a password. Please: Reblog this and tag your people. The more eyes on this the better. ANY TUMBLR IS WELCOME TO ASK FOR THIS. Please. Even if itâs just in case. I need you to ask before I can download your blog. And a side note: For *fucks* sakes my title was *not supposed to be prophetic*.
