    Hey!

    I am pretty new to server adminstration and i want to backup the server files in case of a crash/unwanted wipe.
    I used the command server.writecfg save.autosavetime 600 ( Saves the file each 10mins) but i dont know where to get those saved files... Any idea on where i can get them?

    Also, I want to save the files on a cloud so i dont use my hardrive space.. Any help on how to save them automatically on the cloud?

    The default location is server/my_server_identity/saves, which you may only see if you have full access.

    When the update install or the provider force a wipe due to a crash, does it wipe these files?

    Is there a way i can automatically save these file on a folder or a cloud server?

    That depends on your host and if the Rust update is a forced wipe or not, but generally they are not wiped unless you do it. You'd need to write a script or use a tool that syncs or backs up the files, either via FTP or other means if you are hosting locally.
