RIZZASTERBackups of the world files

We discussed the current state of world file backups for Rizzaster and agreed that we need a more consistent and reliable process. Right now, backups are mostly done on an ad-hoc basis by individual moderators, which leads to inconsistencies and the risk of losing important changes. We decided to set up a weekly backup schedule that everyone can follow, using a shared storage location that is accessible to all moderators. This will help ensure that no one is relying on a single person to remember to back up the world.
We also talked about how to label and store the backups. It was agreed that each backup should include a timestamp and a brief description of what changes were made since the last backup. This will make it easier to track progress and revert to a previous version if needed. There was some discussion about the best way to store these backups, with some suggesting using a cloud service and others preferring a local network drive. We'll need to decide on a specific method soon, as this will affect how we implement the backup schedule.
Another point raised was the need for a backup rotation plan. Some moderators were concerned that keeping every single backup might take up too much space over time. We acknowledged this and agreed to look into implementing a rotation system, where older backups are deleted after a certain period, as long as we have enough recent backups to cover potential restoration needs. There was also some uncertainty about how to handle the backups during server downtime or if a moderator is unavailable. We need to clarify these details and make sure the process is as resilient as possible.
