It’s important that we regularly back up the world files to prevent data loss in case of a server crash, accidental deletion, or other unexpected events. These backups are stored in a secure, offsite location and are not accessible to anyone except the main administrators. Every backup includes a timestamp so we can easily identify which version of the world we’re restoring if needed.

The backups are performed automatically every 24 hours, but it's also a good idea to manually create a backup before making any major changes to the world, such as large events or updates. If you’re tasked with handling backups, make sure you understand the process and know where the backup files are stored. Always confirm that the backup was created successfully and that it’s being saved to the correct location.

If there’s ever a need to restore from a backup, contact the lead administrator immediately. They’ll guide you through the process and ensure that the correct version of the world is used. Never attempt to restore a backup without clear instructions—this can cause confusion and potentially overwrite recent changes. Keeping backups organized and accessible is a shared responsibility, and everyone should know where to find them in case of an emergency.
