excerpt: Save DB to disc.

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
