It's World Backup Day again. Good opportunity to check if your backup mechanisms work as intended.

I never knew we backed up this world. Can we revert to a snapshot from the nineties please?

Unfortunately the best we can do is 1939.

Yeah, I'm afraid the tech bros cut costs by not saving backups and removing all the old ones. Hell, all our changes are made in prod, no staging allowed here.
