Relays might delete your data at anytime. Especially if you are not paying for storage.

The amount of data will likely force all public/free ones to only host the past ~2 weeks worth of events.

If you are paying, you should probably talk to them to lay for a backup solution as well.

Yes. I run a relay at nostr.naut.social and when it gets busy, I thinking in terms of a 30 day hold, but it could be shorter. Longer for those who pay more:-)

Indeed. All the more reason to host your own relay with all your data backed up.

Umbrel already offer an easy to spin up ‘app’ option to do this in a self hosted way.
