At the moment just helping to assure that my data is safe in my hands in the event of a relay outage

Which nostr data is most important to you? Least important?
The most important to me is notes, just for posterity sake. I think the coolest part of nostr is how permanent everything is, so I want to make sure my posts are backed up somewhere just in case
on the other hand I'm not too worried about backing up my likes/reactions because they don't matter much anyway lol
🙏 Got you - you value notes over reactions.
To help me understand, whose notes do you want to back up?
(excuse the pedantic nature of my questions, I am trying to gain an understanding of what’s valuable to nostr users, as I’m helping a dev build something somewhat backup related)
Just my own. by nostr nature your data is very volatile, so if in some extreme case all of the public relays I use went down, all of my data is effectively gone. So if I have them backed up on a private relay I can simply rebroadcast all my data to a new set of relays
Thank 🙏
How valuable is it for you to back up your DMs, and your contacts list relative to your notes?
If you had to stack rank from most important to least important to back up how would you rank these three (your notes, your contacts, your DMs) ?
I would have to say notes > contacts > dms
This is highly personal though, mostly because I rarely use dms. I highly value notes because of previous reasons, and value contacts quite a bit because I've accidentally wiped my whole list before and it's an absolute pain
