Hey there everyone! First of all: I’m backing up every tumblr that will let me.
12/7/2018 is todays date, for referencing this later.
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: I’ve got a google form that’s going to let me back up your data. Fill this out please? I’ve had less than 20 blogs ask for this.
THE QUE
I don’t want to see our history die.
Who can I back up? EVERYONE! ANYONE!. EVERYTHING WE CAN.
What can I back up: Everything that’s *published* on your tumblr. Drafts, asks unanswered, messages, communications between people that are behind a login screen, I can’t scrape. I’m using the tumblr python .utills scrape.
How much space do I have? ENOUGH. I’ve got 4tb now, and I’m compressing files and moving them onto it as we speak. I’ve 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 you’ve got your content on it, I want to back it up.
If you include an email, when I have a chance, I’ll 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 it’s 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*.
