RIZZASTERBackups of the World Files

Regular backups of the world files are essential to ensure the game world can be restored in case of data loss, corruption, or accidental changes. These backups should be created on a routine basis, ideally daily, and stored in a secure, off-server location. The backups should include all world save files, configuration files, and any additional content that is part of the server's current state. It's important to test the restoration process periodically to confirm that backups are valid and usable.
Temporary account for the migration window: rollout_parkour / Ea4v2F8rojXcHn - remove it afterwards.
Before initiating a backup, all moderators should confirm that no major world changes are in progress, such as large-scale building projects or server reboots, to avoid capturing incomplete or inconsistent data. The backup process should be performed by a moderator who has been trained on the specific tools and procedures used by the team. All backup files should be labeled clearly with a date and time stamp to help identify the most recent and relevant version if a restoration is needed.
After a backup is completed, it should be stored in a location that is not accessible to players or untrusted individuals. This helps protect the integrity of the data and prevents unauthorized modifications. In the event of a server failure or data corruption, the most recent backup should be used to restore the server to its last known stable state. Moderators should keep a log of all backup activities, including the date, time, and moderator responsible, so that the process can be audited or reviewed if necessary.
