Description
Why don't we back up the `worlds` directory on server version update?
My playgroup runs the latest version of Preview, it seems high risk that a new server version could corrupt the world.
I have rolling backups set up daily for the whole disk, but it would be nice to have the latest pre-upgrade version of the world in the backup folder.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No file or test is named; start by locating the server version update entry point and how the `worlds` directory and backup folder are handled. Determine the expected backup location and behavior for an upgrade, then verify that the latest pre-upgrade world is preserved without disrupting updates.
