Probably at a goodtime for themselves so they can quickly react if it goes wrong...

Not a good thing to cron a major update

The NPC-server just stalls, and /npcshutdown takes about ten minutes, as does /npcstart.

Sounds to me like because of I/O going crazy for some reason or another with the backup, the server load shoots up and prevents any of the processes from working, including most of Era since it uses file-based storage not memory.
Then again this is just speculation.

I actually google'd Graal Online Editor and found an open sourced one. Not official, but was there.
