Ok, I have an interesting feature request and I'm not sure if it is possible or not, but I figure it should be.

I run a server with a ramdisk for the worlds, and the backup started failing and I did not become aware of this until the server crashed and we lost about a day's worth of work. I knew I had all the data of what had happened in the HawkEye database, but i can't roll that back - the state of the world exists before that data happened, and rollback us generally designed to "undo" those changes.

What I needed was a way to "playback" everything that happened so that the world would be up to sync with the database again. I'm still not sure how to do this or if it can be done.

Since all that data exists, it'd be a great feature to see in Guardian. Would save my butt right about now...
