Anyway, on that subject, I think the manager should have the files anyway, and while a server-backup may be usefull, if it's only possible once a month as was said, then it's robbed it's usefullnes again. Maybe there could be something which kinda mirrors the server on a different computer every day, automatically, and keeps an additional backup version which is always a week older, or so...
I believe it should download such backups to the requestor's computer, and upload over the existing server files.

What it has to do with everything is:
Stefan finishes the template server.
Stefan clicks Backup and downloads it all into one big zip file.
Stefan posts this huge zip on graal.net
Billy downloads the huge zip.
Billy buys a playerworld.
Billy uploads the big huge zip, which unpacks and makes the new world a carbon copy of the template world.
Billy edits it so wells give 99 water and there are cows instead of yodas, chickens instead of squirrels and sheep instead of choupas...
See where it's headed?
