Doing world backups without shutting down server.

[turbo-david]

I recently moved to the server script here. It seems like backup only works by first shutting down the server. (my old server i would just copy the files to a local nas) I'm assuming shutting down the server is to protect the server from writing the file as your copying it? I was doing 30 min backups but I can't be restarting the server that often in the current setup.

If your file system is writing correctly and your .db and .fwl are writing correctly, you should only need to do backups once a day.

Backups are up to you, we are just providing a manual simple way.

If you want to make your own autobackup:
