a backup is always a very good idea --- however, i'd like to point out that NONE
of the OpenSim april 1 jokes caused data loss --- and was usually coded in such
a way as to go away by itself on april 2 (your avatar might have looked a bit
weird but only on april 1, or an bot-avatar might have told you to leave your
region and claim it was his)

OpenSim april 1 jokes are harmless, might be surprising, but never intend to
cause damage.
