Does PPRuNE have backups?
Somehow all my posts were deleted and I don't know whether it was accidental, or my account got hacked, or if I offended anyone, or if it was a database fault. I've spoken to the admins and I'm told all my posts prior to 20th November 2012 are lost.
I'm not a prolific poster, and my postings were not Shakespeare material, but my little brain was quite fond of them, so now I'm clutching at straws hoping there are backups about.
I recall some time ago a more interesting thread called "photos of everyone" was accidently deleted and could not be recovered.

No.
If you feel that attached to your posts, you will need to provide your own backups. Easy enough to copy and paste to text file(s).

For cattletruck
You can see WHERE you posted but not what you posted with this in the search box
cattletruck site:pprune.org
The only other way I know is via the 'waybackmachine' if it still exists.

Just to add something to the now closed thread re PPRUNE backups, the Wayback machine still exists, but the last time PPRUNE was crawled by its search engine was 17th June 2011
