Hey, me and a couple of friends rent a server for SMP Minecraft. But after a couple of days the server crashes and we have to start all over again. We had that for 4 times now. And it's really pissing me off. Is there a way to prevent this or make backups? Thanks!

Server Crashes

As with most software there are small errors, that overtime can cause problems, so resetting a server allows it to go back to having 0 problems and running at normal speed, to put it simply. You should try an organise a time for it to reset, say like every 2 days, and it is possible to save your server's state and everything on it. 

You could setup the server to make a backup every few hours and before it resets, as to how you could do this, I'm not sure as I haven't even gotten my server up yet. It is possible though.
