Here's a bit of an oddball question which thus far I've never been able to find an answer to.
Is there somewhere in the back office an archive of the credit for each host attached to a user beyond the "last 60 days" we can see on the site (which actually never for me at least has shown more than 30 days).
I've had a group of hosts running since 2018, and as a personal interest project had always kept tabs on what each host had been up to day by day. Gave me a nice little evening ritual to update it, and looking at some of the long term trends allowed me to teach myself how to do a few things in Excel that I'd never looked into before.
However then I lost a whooooole bunch of data - like two years worth. This was entirely down to be being an absolute idiot and setting a flag wrong in my Rsync backup script. So it was ignoring existing files when doing the weekly sync, rather than updating them if they had changed. On the whole I didn't lose anything major, a huge chunk of this speadsheet being the main one. I've sort of fudged it back together as best I can using averages, but it's a pale shadow of its former self, and unsurprisingly a couple of hosts have come and gone in that time, so they're not reflected at all.
Is there any way that someone with access rights able to delve deeper into the system would be able to retrieve any of this raw data? It's absolutely not mission critical, but it would be really nice to be able to fix this.
Also, if you're reliant on a backup script, double, triple, quadruple check it's working perfectly before you go and reformat the drive which has the master copy of the data on it...Yes, this was months ago. Yes, I still feel like an absolute idiot.
