Related -- I've been using this tool [0] for years, to back up my trello boards daily. Only been one brief hiccup, due to a change of API, IIRC, about a year ago, that was resolved within a few days. I don't have a workflow for utilising the resultant dumps, but that's an unlikely edge case - it's just been important for me, given the occasional horror stories about being locked out of proprietary services, to actually have the content.
