It's been a year. Time for some server stuff!
I noticed there's been significant chunk corruption on the Vanilla 1.16 world. The shopping island has been wiped along with half of someone's base near spawn and my witch farm is also cut in half. The automatic backups only keep a week's worth of daily backups. I manually backup those backups to my own PC from time to time, but as posted in a different thread the disk I use for that isn't in great shape so I'm unable to restore the corrupted chunks. Those chunks have been automatically regenerated but all the work that was put into them is gone I'm afraid.
I'm currently working on setting up better backup facilities. A friend has provided a Dell workstation. I've bought four 4TB WD Red drivers, 48GB ECC memory and an Areca raid controller. The daily backups will stay where they currently are, on a 1U rack server at my place. On the new server I'll be doing weekly and monthly backups. Weeklies will be saved up to 1 month and the monthly backups will be saved up to 1 year. The new server will be hosted off-site at my friend's place. He's also generously paying for the electricity.
So all in all this backup server, or server for backups, which ever you want to call it, it going to cost me around 600 euro and a bunch of time to setup. If you're feeling generous and would like to contribute, there's a PayPal button on the home page :)
