Greetings,
The problem of someone erasing / deleting a group¡¯s material ¡ª and, the possibility of recovering it, or not ¡ª is enough to cause sleepless nights. Our group tends to download stuff, and keeps a separate database on another site, to create redundancy¡but then, we have been through something similar in the Yahoo days.
?databases are not a specialty topic for me, by any means, so I am just thinking aloud here, in the hopes that either a viable option will be presented or a helpful idea will emerge. As an Owner / Moderator / Group Member of a group, I wonder:
¡ª In this group¡¯s specific database loss case, do others (Owners, Moderators, Members) of this group also have not only capability to add / edit to all aspects of the database, and also the option / ability to download the database?
¡ª If others are permitted such capabilities, I wonder if someone else ¡ª specifically another signed-in user ¡ª may have recently downloaded a version of it? ? If so, unless it were very recent you might not be able to repopulate the database with the most up-to-date data, but perhaps such a version would be far better than no data at all. ?
My two-bits
