Backups

How to create, restore, and manage server backups.

Creating a Backup

  1. Go to the Backups tab in your server panel
  2. Click Create Backup
  3. Optionally name your backup
  4. Wait for the backup to complete

Restoring a Backup

  1. Go to the Backups tab
  2. Find the backup you want to restore
  3. Click the Restore button
  4. Confirm the restore action

Restoring a backup will overwrite your current server files with the backup contents.

Downloading Backups

You can download any backup to your computer:

  1. Click the Download button next to the backup
  2. The backup will download as a .tar.gz archive

Backup Limits

Your plan determines how many backups you can store. If you've reached your limit, delete an old backup before creating a new one.

Best Practices

  • Backup before updates — Always create a backup before changing server versions or installing mods
  • Backup before reinstalling — Reinstalling wipes all server data
  • Regular backups — Create backups regularly, especially on active servers
