I don't understand what you want?

You have your saves and three backups, what else do you want?

You want another backup?
Sure, it's possible.

You want it to only backup characters? Nothing else in the world, no spawns, no decoration, no doors, no teleporters, no signs etc... Not sure how to do this but if you want to access characters from a backup just download the saves to your computer and setup runuo with the worldspy script by arya. It will allow you to browse through your world by character or by item. What you do won't change what is on your main server unless you re-upload the world save, but it does give you access to each thing.

or do you want a backup of your backups in case something happens to them? There are plenty of backup programs around and you can even do it with the windows scheduler and dos batch files.

I already said yes. You can use one of the many backup programs out there or you can do it with the windows scheduler and dos batch files.

Here are some programs from download.com

I suggest this one if your willing to pay for it.

If your looking for a free route use dos batch files and the built in windows scheduler. Here is a link to learn about dos batch files. You can do a google search for more tutorials.

If you are looking for ways to backup things on computers all you have to do is search around and more than likely somebody has made a program to do what you want to do.

Why don't you just save all the files, you can't juist restore the Mobiles if something happens.

The saves have to be from the same save.
