Seriously? You have no backups of anything? No ranks, no claim blocks, no world files, nothing?! This tells me that restarting on this server isn't worth it because this could happen again in a few years. It is pointless to play on a server where everything I've worked on building for over a year and a half can be destroyed and gone forever in a moment. My friends and I worked so hard on so many things, we had accumulated so many items to build anything we wished and now every bit of that is gone because you don't have any external backups. I know, it is free to play on the server, but seeing this makes me very glad that I didn't buy anything from you.

On that note, does anyone have any recommendations for a new server to play on that is similar to safe survival and where they make regular and external backups? One where they don't do resets either.

How fun! Welp. Well, I hope everyone is not discouraged from continuing to play on the server. This was an unfortunate unforeseen event and I hope everyone will continue to persevere. I do have one question for staff/Schaum: Can I keep my nickname? To players: When the server comes back on, please do give me all unwanted granite. Thank you! Remind me if I forget. I foresee a lot of mining in my future!

Donation ranks will be restored, but I gotta agree with you on the fact that it's pretty ridiculous that they don't have a separate backup...

I'm slightly glad there's a reset. Gives me motivation to come back and re build my previous things bigger and better :]

Do you really think that because sometimes your work will be erased it's pointless to play on? Also, nobody can tell you a server that is similar to SS bc of advertising. If you had bought something you would get what you had bought back anyway in new server

If you had bought something you would get what you had bought back anyway in new server Burr him asking for a new server is wrong, thats true. However, he does have a point. It sometimes does feel pointless to play when the server breaks so easily. Coming from someone who's lost so much, and donated a fair bit, I do to some extent agree with him.

Let this be a lesson for schuam/the mod team to get better hardware. Eatch year is 10 times than the last so 2017 hardware is 100x better then 2015 hardware

And don't feel bad about donating!!! those donations are how schuam even gets the hardware in the first place!
On the other hand.... RIP Wilmos/ppl who sell donator ranks.

With Nick's post - Will older players be able to reclaim the old donations? Donations will be reclaimable a) I didn't buy my ranks; they werd donated to me from players, will that be ok. I have chat logs, b) Will reclaimed donations be the old format, or new.

As the /forums rules--which can be found here--state that you can't advertise other servers.

500GB of data is nothing!
You say there's no feasible way to keep backups of a server that big yet how do you think enterprises with MORE than that amount of data keep backups?! While no Safe Survival is not an "enterprise" there are still donations incoming that can be saved up for a NAS, a HUGE NAS that can hold MULTIPLE TB of data and backups! Saying that backing up the server is not feasible is a plain and simple cop out and excuse basically saying "we didn't keep backups because we were lazy and didn't want to invest the time/money to invest in a good backup solution and backup contingency plan". Seriously though Safe is the number 1 semi vanilla server, you would think with the amount of donation money rolling in you would have saved some of it and invested in a NAS or something similar to backup your servers...
Not to be rude, I just find it astonishing that a backup of some sort wasn't made, and that you are trying to pull the "it's not feasible" card when other enterprise production servers with a HUGE amount of data, more than safe survival has can backup, store, and recover data with no issues.

Wait.....what is the Donation money even used for.......
Not to be accusing anyone but it's a bit suspicious.

I actually like this, although it would have been nice if a backup world was available to download. Is there any chance at all of recovering the world and making it available?

If they could aamon then the server would not reset
