We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

The initial release of my backup/exporter software received some amazing feedback from this sub. Since then it has improved a lot:

Mountain Sage increased performance and cleaned up exported attachments
Lemonade Berry added date filter support and made PDF generation slightly less pesky
Coyote Mint was the first release with community contributions and expanded support for non-MacOS platforms
Cliff Aster added support for parsing unencrypted iOS backups as well as restoration of recently deleted messages.
Arroyo Lupine was a maintenance release that polished iOS support and reworked handling of attachment data.
Checker Mallow polished HTML exports by adding several quality-of-life features and fixed several bugs.

Finally, the most recent release, Laurel Sumac, added iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma support!

I have found this software very useful to preserve my data and I hope you all do as well.
