You can reenable the blocking IO
How would this help here? Wouldn't it prevent any kind of backup at all then?
re-enabling blocking IO would tell the OS to write data NOW, rather than letting it sit around in memory, which might correct some issues caused by the writes being delayed, i.e. desynced region headers, etc
live backups are generally not something that is entirely supported, [...] while it does work with some degree of reliability with the correct setup/environment
Can you give me some pointers about what this would entail? I would imagine I'm not the only paper server owner on windows that wants to do backups while the server is running. There are also plugins that supposedly do this in a more involved manner like this - whould this work better/at all with paper?
I cannot provide support for Windows; I do not recommend using plugins for backups, but...
