	Hi		As a System Administrator or Senior Administrator, sometimes you will encounter situations where you accidentally deleted a file for good, overwritten something, or have to restore a player's inventory.


			Thanks to Geri at Bloom, we now have a feature called Quick Restore which you can read more about [https://docs.bloom.host/backups/#quick-restoring-backups here].

			== Important things to note... ==
			Read all of these. '''All.'''

			# To restore a '''player's''' '''inventory''', do '''not''' navigate for files manually.
			## '''TELL THE PLAYER TO LOG OFF. OTHERWISE, THIS WILL NOT WORK!'''
			## Click on Backups
			## Go to the Backup you wish to restore from.
			## '''Click on "<u>Quick Restore" not "Restore".</u>'''
			## Enter the paths to the player's inventory.
			### There are '''two''' paths you must restore.
			#### Reveille/playerdata/uuid.dat
			#### Reveille/playerdata/uuid.dat_old
			### It is important you do '''both''', sometimes the "old" path isn't found - that's '''ok''' - you can ignore/skip it in that case.
			#### That does not mean you can skip it always, because if "old" is found, it '''will cause issues.'''
			## Restore, while '''keeping the server online'''.
			### '''Select Purge Found Files''' but do <u>not</u> turn
			## Happy dance. :)
			## Let the player know you restored their inventory and ask them to hop online!
			# '''You must be confident in specifying the paths to restore''', if you aren't clicking on the file and restoring that way.
			# '''Paths must be specific''', if you do Reveille/playerdata/ as opposed to Reveille/playerdata/plaeyr.dat - it will wipe '''everything in that folder.'''
			## '''A good rule of the thumb is to check if there is a file extension'''.
			## It's fine if you want to restore full folders too, but a lot of the time you won't be - so make sure you aren't doing this accidentally!
			# '''When in doubt, ask.'''
			## Anything however small the doubt needs to be clarified - '''ask Tech'''. It is fine if a ticket needs to wait a week or longer for his reply.
