I just began work on a complete reorganization of the world directory. I've already archived the hundreds of thousands of player files of dormant accounts. This will not only significantly speed up the daily backup process, but it has already freed up nearly 1.5 gigabytes of disk space (since I'm using a RAM disk, conserving space is always a priority).

Last year I also extended the engine to support logging of mapblock changes. This was intended to facilitate incremental backups, yet I was still performing a full copy of the world directory every night (for what reason, I have no idea). So I've finally updated the backup script to only copy the full map.sqlite database once per week (on Mondays).

Together with both of these improvements, daily backups should now be completed in less than 5 minutes, compared to the usual 30-35 minutes of downtime, which is a dramatic improvement.
