Today after restart my server was wiped how do I run an automatic save and back up every few minutes and save a bunch of back ups and how do I use it ?
Automating saving and backups?
If your host restarted your server, it wasn't actually restarted, it the process was forcefully killed. The server should be gracefully restarted and saved before restarting/quiting; which can be done via plugins and the Rust server itself.
What plugins do I use or how do I config rust to safe files ? I can't really find updated info on any of it ?
Rust has saving built-in natively, which you can see the settings for by using "find save" in the server console or RCON.

This is an unmainted plugin and has been reported broken various time.
If you want to change the server save intervals change the +server.saveinterval value in your server cfg. You can also force save by using the raw command server.save.
