Dedicated server keeps corrupting save files

To start, here is a pastebin of the server logs https://pastebin.com/CrBH27zQ

There are no mods installed on this server, and just a couple settings changed for some QoL for my group. 

Using Gportal to host a server for some friends and I to play on. Game is running smoothly for a couple days, but then we try to log in one evening and keep getting message saying the server is still initializing. 

Through Gportal support I was told it was a corrupted save file. I figure at that point it was only day 8 so not really a huge loss and just start a new save file. 

But now the same thing has happened once again. Game runs great for a few days, then try to log in and am told server is still initializing. Checked the logs and it's showing up with the same messages. 

Is there any way I can recover this save and if possible stop this from happening all together?

I have access to the server files through ftp, repairing the game files through Gportals web client did nothing of use in either of these instances. 

 
Invalid region files.

 

Invalid region file name: d:\home\sid_1516789\sevenDaysExperimental\saves\Saves\East Bawegige County\new game\Region\error_backup_-8_-50.comp.bak
Exception: Incorrect region file header! d:\home\sid_1516789\sevenDaysExperimental\saves\Saves\East Bawegige County\new game\Region/r.-1.-2.7rg




Nuke those files, and you should be able to start the server.

Usually this is caused by repeated use of the chunkreset command, but could be caused by other factors.

 
Thank you, I had read those lines and deleted the error_backup file since it had a 0 byte size, but didn't read enough to see the second one. 

After deleting those two, I'm getting a different message now, which was once answered to me as the save file being straight up corrupted.

If this save is irrecoverable, is it possible to move character profiles from this generated world to another if I regenerate a world using the same seed name?
