     1The management scripts include a mechanism to create backups of the instances, i.e. instance configurations, logs and save folders. These backups are stored in the folder defined in ''/etc/7dtd.conf'' in the variable ''SDTD_BACKUP_ROOT''. The backups will automatically be put in a new folder with the name being the current date and time. As the backups use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link hard links] there will be no duplicated data, i.e. two consecutive backups will only take up additional disk space for the files that actually differ between the two. Still you can view any backup as being a whole backup.
