Server Character Backups

Ok, I play on E2 with quite a few friends, I have been playing this game for the last, oh, week or so, and, been logging in ALOT of time and work into my chars on E2, and after meeting 2 new friends, buying a clydesdale and spending 2 days equipping it with balanced equipment. I want ANYTHING to happen EXCEPT have my chars deleted if the server gets a character overhaul, then all my friends chars i helped so vigorously to make and my own char with so much work logged into will dissapear. Someone please clarify on if the server will be doing this, from what I hear if you contact the admin of the server its possible to have him make a backup of your char, but im not sure of that. Someone please explain this situation, as im worried all this time and work logged in will simply be destroyed in a matter of seconds.

I do regular backups of char's on my server, it just depends on the server admin.

How do you backup characters on server? Is it possible to backup characters on server and move to new server?

Also how do you backup your local userid on your game PC?
