    Agreed. To maintain health there needs to be a easy way to backup and migrate communities and user profiles between instances.

    Without this theres just 1000 single points of failure rather than one.

      Either that or communities should be able to propagate across instances.

      Not by default, but there should at least be a way to treat it like a hot fail over if the instance admin chooses to enable it.

        If it’s optional then you don’t solve any problem. If it’s not optional you create new problems.

        It’s very catch 22.

        Cause if it’s optional then all you have done is create various size bubbles of failure that don’t actually solve anything. It also create admin abuse vectors.

          If it was an option in this case, this wouldn’t have happened because the guy who made a replacement on piefied wanted to be able to do something like that but couldn’t.
