Backing Up World Files

/archive/ranks/warps/ · last edited 13 Oct 2019 · Events

We regularly back up the game world files to prevent data loss in case of hardware failure or other technical issues. This process is done on a monthly basis to ensure that all changes made to the server are preserved.

To perform a backup, we use a script that copies the entire server directory to a backup location. This script is run on the first day of every month at 3am, when the server is typically idle. The backup process itself takes about an hour to complete, and the resulting files are stored on a separate server.

We keep a rolling set of backups, with the most recent one being the most current. This allows us to restore the server to a previous state in case of an issue. The number of backups we keep is limited to 7, and they are stored on the backup server for a period of 30 days.
