Get serious about backups
Please get serious about backups. If I cannot download backups of my data I cannot continue to use your service in the long term, nor should anyone else. Businesses are required to preserve many of their records, particularly financial records. Data preservation requirements are not necessarily satisfied by ensuring that the most recent data set remains accessible, archival backups over time are usually required. We appreciate the backups you run and the stability you provide, but we must be able to store our own backups to take your service seriously.

Inappropriate?Kenny: agreed. We have limited export/backup capabilities today, and that doesn't jibe with my views about the open Web and freedom to easily move data around. Can we plan to talk later this week? I'd like to hear what you would want to see as we start to sketch & implement new export options.

Inappropriate?Brian,
There is a fable about the farmer and his sons. It's too long to recount, but the punchline makes an awful lot of sense - "Son, all you do is talk about it!".
