Once logging into the server, as in starting it up for the day, I get transported to my spawnpoint with an inventory resembling that of few days past and with the world reset. The farm I was working on has been reset to the generated landscape and my work is gone. 

If I try to use one of the backups of the server, my work is saved, but the problem still remains that I have to launch a backup of the server every time I want to play. Not to mention the fact that when other people work on the server without me all our work will be lost as they cannot launch their backup and my previous work has been overridden.
