    If someone hasn’t written a software package to do so already, it’s probably possible to write one to dump and clone all the comments and posts on a server.

      The comments fortunately are still there, but the images are all gone. They had some trouble that was image-related which led to the server collapsing at some stage. I can’t recall the specifics unfortunately.

        Are those posts/comments/images available on other instances?

        If an instance just shuts down, we just lose all that content? Sounds like a pretty fatal flaw.
