The issue has been rumbling for a few days, with one user logging into Google Drive and finding things as they were in May 2023.

    I do weekly backups. However, if I modify or add something really important I create a backup right at that time

      Makes sense, I’ll have to start doing that.

      One more question out of curiosity, how do you store the drive after?

      I was thinking of getting a proper fireproof safe someday, but that might make it so I get lazy with the backups
