Server randomly appeared to reset

The server was fine when the last person to log onto it hopped on however when we logged back on in the afternoon it appeared the world had reset and the backups don't appear to be working

Did you change the world name at any point?

Many people change the world name (level name), but forget to restart the server to actually apply this, so when the automatic restart kicks in in the morning and the server restarts it finally creates a world with the new name, making it seem like the world was reset.

I dont believe so and the host seems confused as to what that is, where would the setting be located if it were changed

Or is it just the physical filename of the world

It would be on the home page of the control panel, in the server properties, or changing the current world's file name.
