That's not the same thing as being able to store backups on the server (like you could do in FFXI), as the server would only need to check the backups when specifically asked to.

I always forget that option's there, though I'm not sure what all it saves. Does it keep your gearsets, too? It doesn't mention those. Back when I had need of something like this, I went through and copied my character file and put it on a thumb drive, which preserves pretty much everything.
