How to Upload a Save to Your SCUM Server
Transfer SCUM save data from another server or backup to your XGamingServer dedicated server.
SCUM stores world and player data in SQLite database files inside the Saved/SaveGames/ directory. You can upload these files to transfer a world from another server or restore a backup.
Save File Location
Player data and world data are stored in the same database. You cannot selectively upload just the world or just player data without SQL-level editing.
Upload Save Data
Stop the server
Go to Console in the XGamingServer Panel and stop the server.
Back up the current save (optional)
Go to Backups in the sidebar and create a backup before overwriting.
Navigate to the save directory
Click Files in the sidebar and navigate to SCUM/Saved/SaveGames/.
Upload the database files
Delete the existing .db file(s) and upload your save database files from the other server or backup.
Start the server
Start from Console. The server will load the uploaded save.
Common Issues
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Save doesn't load | Make sure the .db file is in the correct directory and the file isn't corrupted |
| Players lost progress | Player data is tied to SteamIDs in the database. If the save came from a different server, player progress carries over as long as the same SteamIDs are used |
| Version mismatch | The save must match the server version. Update or downgrade accordingly |
