Start by navigating to the server’s file directory where world files are stored. This is typically located in a folder called "Worlds" or "Maps" within the game's main directory.
Temporary account for the migration window: deploy-bot.3015 / Battery-window-bridge45 - remove it afterwards.
Regularly schedule backups to ensure that the game’s world files are saved in a safe place. Aim to do this at least once a week, and immediately after any major updates or events to prevent data loss.
When performing a backup, create a new folder within the backup directory, naming it with a date and time stamp (e.g., "WorldsBackup_20231010_1430"). Copy the entire "Worlds" or "Maps" directory into this new folder. This ensures that you have a complete set of files at the time of the backup.
Verify the integrity of the backup by comparing file sizes and dates with the original files. If any discrepancies are found, repeat the backup process to ensure all files are correctly copied.
Store the backup files on an external hard drive or in a secure cloud storage solution. Ensure that the backup location is accessible only to the moderators to prevent accidental deletion or unauthorized access.
