So is the server updated to 1.2 yet? Also don't know if you know, they have cats (in the video), but they also added jungles and increased the maximum building height!

I have not. But I can. People vote!

[Mr. Analog]

More building height? Yeah buddy!

[Stewie521]

I'd love to have it updated, as it will take a long time to update my server AND all the plugins

[Tom]

Server updated

I forgot to save the pre-update world. so there's no going back.

You need to work on your backup procedures.... Don't want something like that happening to your real work. ;0

Heh. well normally I have my backups running every night, and every week those get copied offsite. But in this case, it was that I didn't cp -a world world.bak  before re-running the minecraft server.

And the previous problem was because I had manually excluded ~/minecraft so it didn't copy the offline worlds I had on a couple machines, and forgot that the server also had it in ~/minecraft. whoops.

ALL SOURCE CODE MUST BE STORED IN A SOURCE CONTROL REPOSITORY ON A SEPARATE DRIVE
preferably on a separate machine in a separate location
and of course that separate machine must have nightly backups

There's really no excuse for not using source control with the plethora of free, open-source source control repository software.

Oh, but this is about minecraft world file backups.  Yeah, does that mean that whole subway is gone?

No heck no. I just didn't make a copy of the world before updating the minecraft server. The new version upgraded the world in place to a new format. The old server will likely no longer be able to understand the new data, so there's no going back to the old version.

Duuuuuude, script it so it backs up first and then updates.

I will not lose muh builds again

You shouldn't have lost anything this time. The only issue is that we can't go back to 1.1.

Well who would want to go back to 1.1? Better NPC AIs, More build height, Jungles, CATS, and Iron Golems! :3

I like to think like a boyscout. Always be prepared. Though not usually till after the fact

[Mr. Analog]

Backups goooood, no backups baaaaaaad lol

I guess I can start building a new tower!

Heh. Was anything lost? Nothing should have been. Minecraft successfully upgraded. No errors. So everything should be ok.

I'm doing some spring cleaning today. The server may or may not go down for a bit. Not 100% sure what I'm doing in that corner yet.
