This month’s digital music library news covers music preservation and music backup reality checks.

A shorter one this month, we’ve been on holiday so weren’t scouring the Internet for music library news!

Digital preservation and backup

The Internet Archive continues its mission to preserve various aspects of cultural history, with more music concert recordings being added to its collection. Great news for avid fans of the artists included!

On the slightly less celebratory side of preservation, a warning emerged for those using Backblaze to back up their OneDrive or Dropbox data. If your cloud-to-cloud backup strategy relies on this setup, it might be time to double-check your configuration before you learn the hard way that not all backups are created equal.
