well anyway, hope this is a lesson on why to always backup stuff lol
imo pretty weird to keep that seperated, and even then to still not also give backups for databases. but might take up too much space or smth
I think it has to do with the fact that, from what I know, Roblox expects/requires the developer to maintain the database themselves.
HOWEVER, I do know that Roblox charges real fucking money to also allow people to store particularly large databases on the platform (such as for Deepwoken) - I wouldn’t be surprised if said cost would increase with backups in place, or if Roblox makes applying backups somewhat difficult (because it’s Roblox. Player and developer unfriendly as shit.)

you have close relations with vetex, if you were a rational person you would atleast tell him that luck 2 is such a shit compensation.
it’s ironic since that’s exactly what I said to him an hour ago

I mean, I’ve just tested out the API?
These are on my own places, and Roblox has only started keeping backups since 2021. They only keep backups for 30 days, and I haven’t played it in a bit. I’m definitely sure he could use this, don’t think most people are aware of it though. If he has checked already and those older versions don’t exist, that is unfortunate.
In this image, I had the game first save my data. I then went back and did a few rolls in the game, which are 100 currency each. The old data prints the amount I had before rolling, and the new data is after rolling.
If you’ve played within the last 30 days, it should be able to be restored. Roblox automatically replaced a version of my data from 10-16-2023 with a new version when I had joined the game to test this (which would mean, that backup would get deleted.)

we quite literally do not have the manpower to restore this. Either vet finds a way to mass rollback or gg
ight thanks praying for the former
boy aint no way boy
yeah it’s grim af
maybe there should’ve been some sort of public stress test beforehand, or something
Ok but, even with evidence like this, are you just gonna tell the guy “too bad” and move on? I realize that you don’t hold the power that vetex does, but I think I’m speaking on behalf of everyone that luck 2 for a week is not nearly enough of a compensation, please keep on trying to convince him to increase it assuming he’s not actively working on a way to rollback it.
that should be the plan going forward. Maingame closed for 1-2 hours while testers test to ensure everything properly applied in maingame
no, datastores are completely free. what? backups are also completely free.
external storage solutions are where you have to pay, which at that point, it isn’t roblox.
god please make this happen we cant let an incident like this happen again 
Well from now on I think you should do that for every update
yeah we been discussing it nonstop. we ain’t sitting back and watching the chaos unfold
ur such a g mimhere, wish someone else (cough vetex cough) had to break the news that their wiped items aren’t getting restored cause u don’t deserve the flak.
