Since you can load player objects from HD ( new TServerPlayer("account"); ), you could write script to do a meaningful server backup. The catch is it's going take a couple hours for it finish at a good pace unless you want to make the server unplayable during, and backing up online players leaves a small chance for item overlap due to trading.

While in the mean time they could just get their shell script sorted out and have the GServer backed up in 15-20 minutes or so.
