Default long term backup of Save data

If a RunUO shard goes corrupt while the admins are sleeping it will hapily continue to backup corrupt data thus all your backups will be no good.

How about a single daily backup as a long term fall-back? It would just be one more backup but would provide some fail-safe.

Just use windows scheduled tasks and a batch file to copy the save directory at a given time. Because the save names are different it will not overwrite any of the old data and will copy only the newer saves from inside the directory.

You could try backup magic as well
