    What files under the component system does rust contain the player data. The world map file proceduralmap.3500.456127.139 and what else will I need to get back to the same player point before the crash. My provider is saying do a complete reinstall of rust on their server. Before this is done what files do I need to copy.

    Thank you for any help

    I'd suggest backing up the .sav files and the storage and user folders under your server/identity folder. If you'd like to backup Oxide plugins, save the oxide/data and oxide/config folders at least, but I'd suggest the entire oxide folder.

    Also, keep in min that Rust does automatic backups in your server's root under the "backups" directory.

    Hi! Is the answer to doomday's question still valid?
    I am making a fresh new install and would like to keep anything that can be restored. I'm running the HapisIsland map. Already saved the entire Oxide folder.

    Sorry, no "backup" directory anywhere on my Rust server.

    You quoted a post from over a year ago, it's a bit outdated most likely.

    The date should pretty much be an indication of its usefulness, but old posts aren't always outdated. We don't delete threads just because it is old. In the future, I'd suggest checking the date and checking the forum rules regarding bumping old threads before posting.
