Purpose
- Irrigation
gollark: It was backed up. It's just that my backup retention policy was broken.
gollark: This latest messup was probably mostly on me (really should test stuff better), but I have no idea how big modded servers run without exploding.
gollark: This is really awful. I've managed to recover *some* of the new region files (from the corrupted forge-side backup), I think all the nether/end, and the level.dat, but no playerdata. Kind of annoyed at myself for misconfiguring the backup thing... anyway, if anyone has suggestions for getting more data out, or wants their own copy of stuff, you can ask, but I'm going to shut it down.
gollark: It autorestarts, that wouldn't help.
gollark: I'm going to try and run a file recovery thing on the disk now, then try and fix the zip, and if neither works guess it's an older version or ***DOOM***.
