    Pro tip: Copying a Postgres database while live transactions are interacting with it frequently results in a corrupt backup.

    Thankfully I test my Luanti backups.

    Edit: I should clarify - My dangerous backup method was a naive file copy. I’m sure there’s a different correct way to do a live backup. I just haven’t checked into it yet, since stopping my Luanti server for a backup is no big deal.

      Yikes! Thanks for the tip. I’m just starting to learn about Postgres. Think I’ll stick with MySQL or SQLite for now… :o
