well i dont know if anyone else might have this issue, but when my server crashes the nvault doesn't close properly, and all the data that was saved to it after it was opened is gone. im not too sure exactly how nvault works, if it saves everything when you call nvault_close(vault_name_here), but i was wondering if there is a way around this or if im going to have to set it on a timed increment to close and reopen the vault file. thanks for the help
