Thrym and I are actually investigating ways to safely portal characters between servers. The main issue seems to be keeping the servervault from getting corrupted by accident.
It looks like Valhalla may be back up soon. Thrym needs a new drive for it (the old one was kinda toasted), and then we should be in good shape. There should be some upgrades coming down the pipe, too….

Just a thought… a DB table with three colums; charname, timestamp and chardata. The last is a blob. Write a backup script that, whenever it detects a change in the file update time, enters the new version. Then whenever it gets corrupted, you can roll it back.

Or you can use SVN.

And gratz on the grandson 😉
