I've lost 60% of our data.

Ragtag Archive's videos, all ~1PB of it, are stored on Google Team Drives. I had no backups for it, since I don't have anywhere I can store 1 Petabyte for free, but I still wanted to have them just in case.

So a while ago I started making copies of the videos to a different Google Workspace account, abusing Service Workers to bypass Google Drive's upload quota. However, before the backups were done, I suddenly lost access to the primary Team Drives.

So now I'm left with an incomplete backup containing only ~40% of the videos on Ragtag.

I know I've probably lost your trust, and I understand if you wanted to stop supporting me, but I'd love to keep Ragtag Archive up and running. In the next few weeks, I'll try to set up a way to accept public submission of videos and metadata.

Thank you for your support so far.
