My server world corrupted, and now it won't load. I've got a backup of it, but it's not working either.
What can i do?

It's more serious than that, the backup's name extention has gone from .bak to .bad.

Restore a previous version, then. Should fix the issue.

Should being the operative word there.

*SIGH*

Go to your Terraria folder, then your Worlds folder, right-click on the world that has been corrupted, and click on Restore Previous version in the menu that shows up.

If THAT doesn't work, then find the corrupted world's duplicate - the one with the ".wld.bak" extension, and take out the ".bak" part. The file should then be useable.

Being on a laptop doesn't change your file directories; having a different Operating System does, but the directories are almost always identical between versions of Windows.
