Rizzaster Backups of World Files

/archive/skins/kits/ · last edited 27 Oct 2017 · Moderation

We have decided to implement a weekly backup of our world files to ensure we can quickly restore the game state in case of data corruption or server issues. This choice is driven by the nature of our community, where player-generated content and collaborative experiences are central. Regular backups will help maintain the integrity of these unique in-game elements, such as player-built structures and custom events, which are crucial for fostering a sense of community and continuity.

Given the limited resources and a small team, we have opted for a cloud-based storage solution that can handle the necessary capacity while providing easy access for quick recovery. This approach not only simplifies the backup process but also ensures that our backups are secure and accessible even when the primary server experiences downtime. While the initial setup cost and monthly subscription might be a consideration, the potential for data loss and the impact on player morale far outweigh these costs. Our goal is to balance the need for robust data protection with the practical constraints of running a volunteer-driven server.
