Database Backups High-Level for Game Servers on GlassHosting
Scope
Some games and plugins store data in databases as well as world folders. A world-only backup can miss economy or player metadata if it lives elsewhere.
Principles
- Know where your plugins store data (files vs DB)
- Include DB dumps in backup discipline when applicable
- Test restore to a side location when possible
- Do not expose database credentials in public tickets
GlassHosting
Use panel backups and SFTP downloads appropriate to your product. Ask support if you are unsure whether your stack includes a managed DB endpoint—describe the game/plugin, not internal infrastructure guesses.
