Huh?
Normal databases flush (force write) every completed transaction to permanent storage. Obviously I have no idea how Nexon configured their database, they might be saving I/O time by buffering several transactions at at time, but they have to be outright absurd if they "roll back" more than a second due to power out.
Note that "saving the database" in this case doesn't require exporting it (i.e., exporting the whole thing to a safe copy).
Personally I'd kind of like it if they roll back about 10 minutes. Would give me back 6 wasted cubes and a semi-useful Executioner (it had 6% str and 12 w.att before I starting tossing those cubes at it). But, I don't hold any high hopes of that happening.
