Oh I see. Yeah I totally missed that when I clicked that link. Sorry about that.

Actually you are quite right about those plug-ins. I'm helping a friend set up a server right now and he learned the importance of those auto-save and auto-backup plugins. Like a dumbarse, he opend up an unfinnished server to the world. Spawn wasn't finnished, there was no protection on anything except spawn. No anti-griefing or anti-xraying plugins, Shit got fucked up pretty quickly. Thankfully he had made a manual backup a few days before but that meant we had to rebuild a lot of stuff.

Now I convinced him to install a plugin that saves the world every half an hour and backs it up every night. It causes lag for a few seconds but it does at least warn you. It comes up "Saveing World. Please wait or expect lag" - "Save complete. Thank you" then at midnight "Backing up world." - "Backup complete"

Now when the griefers try it, we can undo what they done :)
