Backups are your safety net against corrupted worlds, misconfigured plugins, and accidental deletions. Every game server includes backup slots you can use manually or on a schedule.

​
Creating a manual backup

1

Open the Backups tab

From the server panel, click Backups.
2

Create the backup

Click Create Backup, give it a name, and optionally choose files to include or exclude.
3

Wait for completion

Backup time depends on server size. You’ll see a progress indicator in the panel.

​
Scheduling automatic backups

Create a schedule that runs the backup task:
1

Go to Schedules

Click Schedules → Create Schedule.
2

Configure timing

Example: 0 3 * * * for daily at 3 AM server time.
3

Add a backup task

Task type: Create backup. Add a rotating name like daily-{DATE}.
We recommend at least one daily backup and one weekly backup you download to external storage.

​
Restoring a backup

1

Stop the server

Always stop the server before restoring.
2

Select the backup

In Backups, click the backup you want to restore and choose Restore.
3

Confirm the restore

Current files will be overwritten. Confirm to proceed.
4

Start the server

Once restored, boot the server and verify data integrity.
Restoring is destructive — it replaces your current files. Create a fresh backup before restoring an old one, just in case.

​
Downloading backups

Each backup can be downloaded as a .tar.gz file for off-site storage. Click the backup and select Download.
