The files in the /builtin folder won't extract, even with rwxrwxrwx permissions.

His directions are obviously for windows, they extract fine for me though. If you rum linux, use my instructions or compile your own

I'm using OpenSUSE (12.1).

[tux_peng]

Linux is linux, it's mostly the same. The only difference is how you install. I think OpenSUSE has a package for minetest http://software.opensuse.org/download.h ... e=minetest

If that is not current you can easily compile your own...

OpenSUSE doesn't have a repo for the --server install. It uses Irrilicht Engine, but I don't know if it can be used on a dedicated Server (Which is OpenSUSE 12.2), on which I want the Minetest Server.

How would you restore from one of these backups?

i tried extracting the backup .tar.xz to the worlds folder (overwritting the existing files) and now I get this error after the game starts:

Server is back up - it was a permissions issue on the restored files.
