Updated local server, wiped it out

[Shadeslayer 0]

I was playing this morning after already updating to 1.7. Took a break for a bit and came back to find a message saying i had to update the game again. Ok fine, ive done this a few times.

 

Once i completed the update, i noticed my server was totally reset. The name, settings, etc. All gone. I try to join and have to make a new character.

 

Can anyone help me undo this?

Have you made any backups at all pre-update? If not I highly recommend doing so from here on out.

It shouldn't have wiped everything as far as I'm aware if it was a simple update. (It may seem like a stupid question but is your server set to the proper type? Could it have gotten misclicked and run an Adventure server instead of a Creative one?)

You may be able to edit databases and fix some things by setting them the way they were but I personally don't know of a way to restore files without having a backup
