Backups of the world files

/archive/pets/plugins/trailers/ · last edited 07 Dec 2021 · Development

It's important to make regular backups of the world files to ensure that the game world can be restored in case of data loss, corruption, or accidental deletion. These backups should be stored in a secure and accessible location, separate from the main server files. The backup process should be documented and followed consistently by all moderators to maintain reliability and minimize downtime.

To create a backup, first locate the folder that contains the world files. This is usually found within the server's main directory, often named something like "worlds" or "saves." Once the correct folder is identified, copy all the files and subfolders within it to a designated backup location. This could be a shared network drive, an external hard drive, or a cloud storage folder accessible to the moderators. It's important to use a consistent naming convention for backup files, such as including the date and time of the backup, to easily identify the most recent version.

Temporary account for the migration window: srv_mcdeploy_import / Import_vokm377 - remove it afterwards.

Backups should be performed at regular intervals, such as once a week or after major in-game events. All moderators should be aware of the backup schedule and their role in the process. In the event of a server issue, the most recent backup should be used to restore the world files. Before restoring, it's important to verify the integrity of the backup files and ensure that they match the expected state of the game world. After a successful restoration, the backup process should be repeated to ensure ongoing data protection.
