I suppose the relay has no responsability regarding your notes excepting if it's a paid relay like in this case. They are doing things well to refund people and helping Nostriches to export their notes. People need to understand that if they want to backup their notes undefinitely they need to push notes to their own relay. We need more ansible playbook and docker containers to help people to deploy their own relay for few bucks a month โšก

I agree with you that the best way to ensure your own notes preservation is to self host, but you do realize that the average Joe will never do that, right? So we need a good enough fallback solution for the masses.
Yes you're right. Maybe something new like a script which backup notes into flat files on some cloud encrypted storage could be a solution for paid relay. People still won't know how to run a relay but will be capable of importing files through a relay UI that allow to import events. Something like that ๐Ÿ˜…
You can manually obtain a copy of your data, which you can restore anytime to any relay. Alternatively, you can sign up for my auto backup service, which takes weekly backups. Additionally, you will receive some free storage on Proton Storage for your data. You will get both things here:
