[Where are the backup files stored?]

Where are the backup save files stored for this server? It shows in the control panel, I've stopped the server and tried to restart with the green button/etc, but I am assuming this control panel portion is not working?

[Changing settings not updating]

You need to go Filezilla or some other FTP software and edit the configuration file manually until they fix the control panel.

[Config File Fix = FTP]

Edit 3: Configuration Files Fix can be done via FTP. Highly recommend you look at the sticky for the solution but I was able to run the server with all configurations with dedicated server, no issues all night.
