I'll bet 10k sats that you've recently been switching clients. There used to be a tool to back up your follow list but I think it's gone. It hasn't happened to me in a long time because I only use Amethyst lately.  

 I use lots of clients. So yeah, one of them did me dirty. 

 Does a selfhosted backup server help here? I think it might 

 Yeah, something like that would be nice. 

 I'm using umbrel, i can back up when i'm on local wifi, haven't gotten around to it but want to switch to casaos and run zerotier so i can backup from anywhere 

 What is the name of the backup software? 

 Nostr-relay, Umbrel has a package (see attached screenshot, it shows how it's logging follows) but you can also install it anywhere as there a git

 This is cool. I wonder if I can do this with the relay that is available on the Start9 Embassy.
