Myspace Lost all the Music its Users Uploaded Between 2003 and 2015:
It's been a year since the music links on Myspace stopped working; at first the company insisted that they were working on it, but now they've admitted that all those files are lost: "As a result of a server migration project, any photos, videos, and audio files you uploaded more than three years ago may no longer be available on or from Myspace. We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest that you retain your back up copies. If you would like more information, please contact our Data Protection Officer, Dr. Jana Jentzsch at DPO@myspace.com."
Yeah, apparently they don't have a backup.
Just another reminder that "cloud" means: someone else's computer(s).

How do I backup the world, how do I store the backup (it obviously has to be outside of the world), and how do I restore the world after it got destroyed?

No worries, the world is currently fully backed up on Earth 2: Electric Bugaloo, conveniently located on the opposite side of the Sun.
Restoration procedures have unfortunately not been fully tested as of yet.

Thank you for demonstrating how people only start to think about backups when it's too late [qntm.org].
No one remembers the singer.
