This is the current schedule of automated daily and weekly maintenance tasks that are run on the server. These tasks include:
- World saves every 15 minutes to ensure that world chunks are saved to disk.
- Server restarts every day that refresh the server’s memory and keep the server performing optimally.
- Offsite backups every day to ensure that there is a separate copy of all world data available in another location the event that our dedicated server machine experiences catastrophic data loss.
- The offsite backup runs for approximately 10 to 20 minutes.
- The backup is incremental, meaning it only transfers files changed since the last backup.
- Wiki offsite backups every day to ensure that wiki can be recovered in case of catastrophic data loss.
- The wiki offsite backup runs for approximately 5 minutes.
- The wiki will be in read-only mode while the backup is running.
- Full Dynmap renders every week for Lab, Games, and Map worlds only.
- These Dynmap renders can take up to a few hours to complete. Expect lag and lower TPS while the render is running.
- The Old, Space, and Staff worlds are only locally rendered upon request.
- The New World is only fully rendered approximately once a year. The full render is rendered on a separate machine offsite and then transferred on to the server.
- Members can run New World Dynmap radius renders directly from the #dynmap-renders channel on Discord.
