thanks @christianschwaegerl for reporting!
@SafeguardingResearch Thx. I've learned a lot during this investigation, e.g. how fragile scientific data storage currently is, how important human curators are and why magnetic tapes – yes, those tapes we know from 1960s movies – are so important and very much in demand.
