Just out of curiosity, how is storing the save game on a server preventing it from being corrupted? I guess it doesn't get corrupted by the hard drive (otherwise all of your data would be corrupted, not just saves) but by bugs in the game's save function and/or OS. The server can only store what was sent to it and working as an external hard drive (or at least that's what I think). So my guess is, if the save is getting corrupted by your machine then the save on the server will be just as corrupted as the one on your system.
Or do I have a wrong understanding of all of this?
