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.
