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
