    @Wulf I have a rust server on a dedicated windows 2012 box that someone forgot to turn off automatic updates on. So it restarted and i lost my server. there is a folder called backups that had some in it that i restored. Is it possible to make it do those backups more often? What triggers them. If not can i setup manual backups in windows like with cifs or somthing of the my_server_idendity folder every so often as a backup or will that not work if it was not properly stopped and saved and then copied and backed up.

    Thanks

    You can change the map save interval with +server.saveinterval # in server.cfg or your startup script/command-line. If you want entire server backups, you can set "server.backup" to run at timed intervals using a plugin such as Timed Execute. If a server wasn't stopped properly though, the map would only be saved up until the last time it was saved.
