Task

get my server progress back

Problem Description

Issue

my full kingdom i’ve build is deleted back to two weeks ago of progress even though i got my armor and gear from today backup. tried to go back to the half an hour ago backup but the half of the server progress is still missing. tried every backup from today with no succes. its like part of the server is permanently deleted even though i made backups every day… such a dissapointing waste of time. for 20 euros you would think the servers are kept save

Reproduction Steps

  • server crashed, joined server again and everything gone
  • went back to 30min ago backup and still part of the server gone back to two weeks ago progress while the other half was saved?? tried other backups same thing
  • tried updating server and restarting still the same thing. as if parts of the server were permanently deleted

It could be that part of the backup isn’t restoring properly, or it isn’t overriding files correctly (also check the date on the backup, you could be attempting to restore an older one).
Alternatively, the system the server is hosted on could be out of space, causing weird behavior.

Another thing to check would be to enable debug logging in the MC instances settings (search bar in the upper right), try restoring the backup, and then right click the instance from the main panel and hit View Logs

After sanity checking disk space, you could try creating a new Minecraft instance, then copy over the backup using the file manager or SFTP.
From there, stop/start the instance, then restore the backup on the new server, and see if everything seems to check out.

i went to view logs and didn’t see any error that said it it couldn’t load anything fully. server memory and normal space isn’t full. its like 1 backup old backup has overridden part of the worlds, so even if i go to new backups it still misses important stuff. i also completely copied the server over to a new instance and had the same thing with all backups. everything was working fine, but after that maintenance day and a crash it went partially back.

tried everything with no result

No clue what maintenance day you’re referring to, this is just the AMP forum, we have no direct relation to Hostinger.
I’ve never experienced that sort of issue using AMP’s backup system, so I’m not too sure on what direction you can go with that.
You could try some of the older backups to see if those work fine in a new instance, in case it’s just the newer backups being weird.

I dont know how but i found the solution. I went and put on S3 storage for backups. Amp will be able to upload backups to any s3 compatible device.

When i turned that on and restarted the server. Upload backup to s3 and download back it worked!

Very weird fix

That’s very odd yeah, good to know if someone else ever runs across a similar issue
