Backing up your world is highly recommended, especially when experimenting with [[Mods]].

=Linux=
==Backup Script==
This script is under testing and editing or adding additional script approaches is welcomed. Ideally the script would be run as a cronjob.

===Script===
<pre>
ps -A|grep -i minetest
ps auxwww|grep -i minetest|awk '{print "kill -9 "$2}' |sh
ps -A|grep -1 minetest
NOW=$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M")
tar -zcf "minetest4_$NOW.tar.gz" minetest4
rm debug.txt
rm nohup.out
nohup ./minetest4/bin/minetestserver &
ps -A|grep -i minetest
</pre>

===Explanation===
# visually show if minetest is running
# find and kill the process
# verify it is not running visually
# get today's date and time
# create a gzip file of the entire minetest server directory
# remove the debug.txt file (housecleaning)
# remove the nohup.out file (housecleaning)
# start the server running again under nohup
# visually show if minetest is running
