Iron Gate's server guide documents default save roots for Windows and Linux, a -savedir override, and launch flags for save intervals and automatic backup retention. It also identifies world and permission data stored under the active save location.
This scaffold will become a platform-specific backup, restore, verification, and retention guide. No destructive restore commands are published in this initial version.
