Back up Jobs Reborn membership and economy state consistently
Applies to: Jobs Reborn; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked .
Jobs progress and economy balances can live in separate stores. A consistent backup should make clear which dataset contains membership and which contains money before a plugin or database migration.
Before you start
Jobs Reborn tracks job membership, experience and rewards as well as money payments. Use a test player with a recorded level and balance. Some actions depend on optional integrations, so identify the job file and event before editing rewards.
Work through the check
- Identify the active Jobs storage backend, its database or local data location, and the separate economy provider holding balances.
- Pause job activity for the checkpoint and use supported server-save and database-backup procedures; record any payout queue behavior for your release.
- Save Jobs configuration, player progress and the matching economy checkpoint, keeping credentials outside any public troubleshooting bundle.
- Restore into an isolated server with independent database names, then inspect one player’s job level and complete one low-value action to verify both progress and money updates.
Confirm the result
The test restore should retain the same membership and progress and pay through its isolated economy provider. It must not write test rewards into the production database.
If the result differs
Copying a database file while it is being written may produce an inconsistent checkpoint. Follow backend-specific backup guidance rather than assuming that a copied jar and config preserve player progress.
Recover safely
Keep the original backups immutable and restore matching copies for further trials. Do not push an older Jobs database over current player activity simply because a new economy connection fails.
