Backups
Backups snapshot your server's save data so you can restore after a crash, a bad update, or a griefing incident. Manage them from a server's Backups tab.
Creating a backup
Click + Create backup, type a name and confirm. The new backup appears in the list with its size and timestamp.
Automatic backups
- Daily backups โ created automatically twice a day. Removed after 7 days.
- Backup before update โ a safety backup just before each game update.
- Backup before shutdown โ a safety backup before a stop or restart.
Toggle these on the Backups tab. To keep an automatic backup permanently, use Convert to manual.
Restoring
- Click Restore on any backup of the same game type (this overwrites the current save and stops the server).
- Restore from another server pulls a backup from a different server โ cross-machine restores are synced with Syncthing.
Important: Only manual backups can be deleted. Convert an automatic backup to manual first if you want to remove or keep it. Always back up before a cluster wipe or a major update.
