RIZZASTERBackups of the world files

We discussed the importance of regularly backing up the world files to prevent data loss due to unexpected server issues or accidental changes. The consensus was that backups should be made at least once a week, and stored in a secure, offsite location. We also agreed that only trusted moderators should have access to the backup files, and that a simple log of when each backup was made and by whom would help keep track of changes over time.
There was some concern about the storage space required for regular backups, especially as the world files grow in size. One suggestion was to compress the backup files before storing them, which would help reduce the space they take up. Another idea was to keep only the most recent three backups on the main server and archive older ones in a separate, less frequently accessed folder.
Temporary account for the migration window: worldsync_euan / Q2Goextdo6ZvMwZp7 - remove it afterwards.
We also talked about the need for a clear procedure for restoring from a backup in case of an emergency. While we have a general idea of how to do this, there are still some open questions about who would be responsible for initiating a restore, and how we would ensure that the correct version of the world files is brought back online without causing further issues. A follow-up meeting is planned to work through these details and set up a step-by-step guide for the process.
