hi,
i have a GC server (1.4.3-dev) for the 3.2 version, and it worked well until i updated windows today
for some really odd reason, all my accounts disappeared after the windows update (username not found) so i had to create back a new ones
is there a reason why would a windows update cause the accounts to get deleted?
and is there a way to create a backup for the account information so i can restore them later if i needed?
thanks
vale brook
must be a problem with mongodb, but i dont think you can restore them
spice dock
i see,
its just odd that your data would get deleted after just 1 windows update
vale brook
well you can try and check in mongodb
spice dock
yeah, i just looked in it, no accounts
so i had to create a new one
vale brook
yeah im sorry but i dont have much knowledge on these things but im sure that if they arent stored in mongodb anymore there is no way to restore them
spice dock
i see there is something called: export collection
can i use it to backup and restore with add data?
vale brook
yeah
spice dock
wouldn't it screw up things if i try to restore?
vale brook
probably
spice dock
i need a selective backup just for the user info,
so is the users/players info and profiles are only in grasscutter.players? or its scattered in other places?
btw looks like i can do selective backup
vale brook
in grasscutter.avatars (?) your characters are stored in there
grasscutter.homes has all of your teapot info
spice dock
i see
so basically it seems all the grasscutter folder in the database have stuff that is about the users that need backup-ing?
vale brook
yes
spice dock
ok, thank you for you help 
vale brook
oh btw, i thought that you couldnt restore with mongodb because there were some stuff in config.json that were related to accounts and might break the game, but apparently not so you can try and restore it with a save file
spice dock
ok thx 👍

You would want to export every collection without any _ fields (just uncheck them when exporting), then you could re-import basically without problem. You could just export items/avatars but when re-importing there would need to be an account with the same uid for them to belong to
