I was looking for the current backup (scheduled for March 1st) of IFDB data today at IF Archive. The current index is still showing the one at the start of last December as the most recent.
Will there be a backup released this quarter?
Sorry! This was my fault. I filed a bug IF Archive scrubber failed on March 1 · Issue #1288 · iftechfoundation/ifdb · GitHub and fixed it just now. There’s now a March 8 archive available on IF Archive.
I also filed a bug on our infrastructure that we don’t get any notifications when our cron jobs fail. (And it’s not even the first time this has happened! 
) Our cron jobs don't alert us when they fail · Issue #1290 · iftechfoundation/ifdb · GitHub

@dfabulich, is this March 8 archive available in the dev environment as well? I tried setting up a new codespace to investigate this issue, but when I did, it seemed like there were only like 90-something games showing up with times, when it should more like be 600-something games with times.
I just upgraded the dev environment a minute ago in update to March 2025 archive · iftechfoundation/ifdb@2264288 · GitHub
You’ll need to reset the Docker environment like this to use the new DB:
./prepare_dev_environment.sh && docker compose down && docker compose up --build
P.S. I’ve been very busy at work the last month, but I’m hoping to get back to merging PRs soon…
