parp_backup folder missing?
Moving this issue from the comments. I was originally testing the safehouse backup a few days ago. The backup processed the entries successfully, but when I tried restore I was greeted with a red error message. Apologies, I can't remember exactly what it said. I think it said safehouses removed but couldn't restore from backup. After the recent update today I did another safehouse backup, it showed processed 17 entries, but there doesn't seem to be a parp_backup folder in Lua. Just parp_misc and parp_chat. Worried to try and do restore in game in case I lose everyone's safehouses again. But want to be able to make sure we have backups. Thanks for any help.

your local machine, not on the server:
C:\Users\<YOU>\Zomboid\Lua\parp_backup

this contains, after you made a backup, a file called factions.ini and/or safehouses.ini

those are used for the restore options

PS: even if that's not your local path, it will show which file it was saved to after saving, so look for that one.

Ok, found the backup folder. As long as the files are in that folder, it should be as simple as using the restore option when logged onto my server from my local machine? Do I need to do anything with those files like move them anywhere else? First time setting up a server so thanks for the help.

Nope, nothing else needed. Restore automatically looks for these local files and backup creates them. You can transfer safehouses and factions between servers or into coop for testing. Back the stuff up on the server and restore it wherever you have access to BTSE restore options.
