The Fnrrf Ygm Schnish Wiki... not quite dead?

While doing some random Google searching, I stumbled across something which, at a glance, appears to be a backed-up copy of my Fnrrf Ygm Schnish wiki.  It's from sometime in mid-2013, so it wouldn't be an entirely up-to-date version of the wiki, but still... any backed-up copy at all is a whole hell of a lot better than nothing.  And I don't think I've done much with the wiki in 2014 anyway, since it's been having trouble loading this whole year (and then back in the spring it died altogether), so hopefully these backups will have at least the vast majority of the stuff I put up on there.

Unfortunately I can't check it out just yet, because the files are in 7zip format and I don't have my own computer at the moment (am using school computers, which won't let me install new programs like 7zip), but I have downloaded these files and copied them onto my USB drive just in case.

I'm not sure what I'll do with the FYS Wiki material now that I no longer have a wiki to put it on, but it'll be nice to have it around for reference at least--part of the reason why I was making the wiki in the first place was just to have all of my stuff in one place so I can keep track of little details and come up with backstory information and such and not lose track of it.

EDIT: Nevermind the above.  Turns out the so-called backup was actually more along the lines of a "worthless piece of shit"--the only pages it backed up were the main page, the "help" page, and the various categories.  In other words... the exact things I wouldn't ever actually need to back up because they contain little-to-no actual content.  But they were really good about making sure every single last image I had uploaded to the wiki was preserved... though I still have all of those (since they were, y'know, UPLOADED rather than written on-site) so that's pretty much "worthless piece of shit" too.  Ugh. >_<
