@dushman In this case, it's been hardware failures. (If the last posts from @p have federated your way, you can see me celebrating fixing the Last Problem, a bad stick of RAM.) So for FSE, backups don't help if I don't have another machine that is large enough to handle the load. The options in this case are wait to acquire beefy enough hardware, or to acquire somewhat more modest hardware more quickly and to deploy different software on it. For the latter option, the backup *does* help because I can test out importing (which I wasn't gonna do yet but development focus has moved to getting FSE back up).
