I read through some posts related to the local & server side characters, but I am not sure if they answered my questions.
1st) What do DMs/Hosts do to safeguard campaigns, characters, etc? Do you simply do a backup of the campaign folder? Does that cover everything?
2nd) In experimenting with Campaigns, Modules, and the like, we made some characters in various areas. Today, I realized that these characters exist inside each campaign, not as a server-wide entity. Is there a simple way to transfer characters from one campaign to another? Or am I looking at trying to edit the db.xml files?
3rd) I saw some allusions to server characters being saved local so players can review their character (but not change them for use on the server). Does this happen automatic or does the player need to use some function/command to get a copy of their server version of their character?
As always, thanks for the input!

PS: Other than back to creation mode, anyone have suggestions as a good source for at least generic player tokens & associated portraits?
