# ramdb_db_fnc_save

## Description

Saves the entire database to disk storage. This function persists all data (key-value pairs, hash tables, and lists) to a file, allowing it to be retrieved later even after server restart.

## Syntax

[_createBackup] call ramdb_db_fnc_save

## Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description | Default
--- | --- | --- | ---
`_createBackup` | Boolean | Whether to create a backup of the current state | false

## Return Value

None. The operation runs synchronously and saves the database immediately.

## Examples

### Save the database without creating a backup:

[] call ramdb_db_fnc_save;

### Save the database and create a backup:

[true] call ramdb_db_fnc_save;

### Call the save function remotely from a client:

[] remoteExecCall ["ramdb_db_fnc_save", 2, false];

## Notes

- This function should be called periodically to ensure data persistence
- The backup feature creates a timestamped copy of the database
- Automatic backups can be configured in the extension's config file
- Saving is a resource-intensive operation, so it shouldn't be called too frequently
- Consider saving before mission end or during low-activity periods
