Every week, the server’s world files are backed up automatically to a secure, offsite storage location. These backups are essential in case of unexpected data loss, corruption, or accidental changes to the game world. The backups are handled by the volunteer moderators and do not require any action from players or household members. It’s important to know that these backups are not accessible to the general public and are only used by the moderation team for recovery purposes when needed.
If you are a household member with access to the server files, you should never attempt to modify or delete the backup files yourself. Doing so could interfere with the backup process and may result in data loss. The backups are stored separately from the live server files and are not part of the daily operations of the game. They are only accessed in rare circumstances, such as when a serious issue occurs that requires restoring the world to a previous state.
In the event of a server issue, the moderation team will assess whether a backup is needed. If a restore is required, it will be done carefully to ensure that the server returns to a stable and playable state. As a household member, your role is to follow the guidelines provided by the moderators and avoid making any unauthorized changes to the server or its files. Keeping the backup process intact helps ensure the game remains fun and safe for everyone who plays.
