Hello,
When I make a backup of my server, here is what I do:
- I download "world", "world_nether" and "world_the_end"
- I unzip them
- I take DIM-1 from "world_nether" and DIM1 from "world_the_end" and move them into "world"
- I zip the folder "world" and this is my backup
This makes a playable local world with the right Nether and End dimensions and I don't notice any loss of information (inventory or region) when I join the local world.
However, I noticed that "level.dat", "level.dat_old", "session.lock" and "uid.dat" files are present at the root of the "world", "world_nether" and "world_the_end" folders.
So my question is: what data do I loose by not including these files (those at the root of "world_nether" and "world_the_end") in my backup? These 4 files are present at the root of the 3 folders, why are they included 3 times?
Thanks for your help!
Have a nice weekend,
Schbourf
