0 RimBlock Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Guess it depends on your server setup as AFAIK Epoch does not have an inbuilt database backup feature (could be wrong though). If you are paying for a hosted service then go and speak to them. I backup my DB vi SQL Dump shceduled by SM Scheduler and can just change that schedule to whatever I like (currently every 15 min held for 2 weeks).

0 Buck0 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yeah, my dn backs up every 30 Problem is its not saving 5 before restart and ends up allowing people to dupe over restart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Carp! Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 How are you restarting your server. Batch file? BEC command? How soon after your server reboots is the server coming back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Triage Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm having the same problem. If people don't log out before the restart ALL of their items disappear except their backpacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Carp! Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah the database does not usually keep things that fast. That's why i tell people if they log out past my 2 minute warning, they take the risk. A lot of this depends on how you stop your server. Please read the above questions and post your answers for assistance. Saying "it happens to me too" does not help me help you :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Buck0 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ive changed my db backup to within 1min of server restart, im hoping this woll cause a "force save" if u will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Carp! Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah I always recommend at least allowing 1 minute to pass to allow the DB to finish doing all its snazzy backupy things before the server comes back up. As soon as I went dedicated, I was all like 5 SECOND RESTARTS WOOT! Fact is, you need to let the DB finish saving its entries before the server starts again. Ive had success with going as low as 45 seconds. Im sure the bigger the server the longer you should allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
