Backups of the World Files

/archive/crates/plugins/ · last edited 31 Oct 2024 · Billing

We've been doing backups of the world files manually for a while now, which is fine, but it's not the most efficient or reliable method. The problem is that we can't rely on someone else to do it for us, and even if they did, the world files are quite large and it takes a lot of time to transfer them off-site. The alternative is to use a backup software that can automatically schedule the backups for us.

We've been looking at this backup software, and one of the main pros of using it is that it can handle the size of our world files, which means we don't have to worry about running out of space on the backup drive. It also means we can set it up to run at a time of day when the server is usually quiet, so it doesn't interfere with gameplay. Another advantage is that it can be set up to do incremental backups, which means we only need to store the changes since the last backup, rather than a full backup of the entire world.
