Feature Request: IAR downloads on-demand
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2020 6:02 pm
One of the biggest selling points for Kitely is the ability for sim owners to download OAR backup files on-demand. As content creators, that's just such a basic, common-sense feature which seems to be missing from many other grids.
What's still glaringly lacking, however, is the ability to back up avatar inventories.
It's my understanding that Kitely automatically backs up avatar inventories, but there is at present no way for us as paying clients to obtain those inventory backups. This is true of all other open sim grids, to my understanding.
This is a significant sore spot for me, as a content creator and active user. I currently have just shy of 10,000 items in my inventory, and I'm sure that number won't ever shrink. My wife's avatar has several thousand items as well, and we'll be creating alts for our machinima projects.
At present, a possible workaround is to box my inventory and rez those boxes in world, save an OAR of my sim, and then pick those boxes back up. Obviously, this is not a desirable workflow.
Realizing it's easy for me to say and infinitely harder for you to do, would you consider adding the ability to download IAR files for our avatars? I guarantee this would be a massive selling point to differentiate Kitely from other grids.
In this modern age, I backup my whole hard drive to Dropbox in real time (which itself maintains 30-days of rollbacks), in addition to duplicating those backups to five local hard disks. I may be overly cautious, but when you lose even an hour's worth of work it's incredibly demoralizing!
Surely the countless hours of inventory acquisition and organizing could be packaged and downloaded by your paying clients to allow us further peace of mind. Please give serious consideration to this request, not just as a matter of convenience to your users, but as a significant product differentiator for the Kitely grid.
