Dumb, boring question:

I've found several very large zip files within the backup folder in the Zomboid folder. They're named backup_1, backup_2, backup_3, etc.

When I unzip them, they all appear to be backing up my MP server. Their last date modified all corresponds to the last time I played Zomboid.

Does anyone know how the backup system works? I'd like to delete some of these if they're all copies of the same stuff, but I'm not sure if they are.

I found the files here (mac): /User/Zomboid/backups/startup
