Couldn't you build that into Pinboard (via Dropbox or similar).

Yeah, but then you're trusting me to do the backups for you. That's much less protection.

yep, this in a crontab somewhere is all you need:

  curl -k -o ~/backups/pinboard-backups/pinboard-$(date +\%y\%m\%d).json 'https://api.pinboard.in/v1/posts/all?&auth_token=username:APItokenhere&format=json'

I meant it as a defense against concern against the bus scenario.

The backups would run while the site is live and if it ever spontaneously disappears then users would have an up-to-date backup available.
