Node Storage

A Node stores the persistent data for the Cells running on it unless your deployment uses an external storage design.

Plan for growth

Game worlds, logs, modpacks and backups can grow substantially over time. Monitor both used space and inode availability.

Backups

Avoid treating a second directory on the same physical disk as your only backup. For important Cells, keep backup copies on separate storage or infrastructure.

Moving data

When moving Cell data between Nodes, preserve ownership and permissions expected by Worker and the container runtime. Verify the Cell before deleting the original copy.
