How To Restore a Backup On Your StarRupture Server
Learn how to restore your StarRupture server from a backup to recover lost progress or fix corrupted saves.
XGamingServer automatically creates backups of your StarRupture server. If something goes wrong — a bad configuration change, corrupted save, or accidental deletion — you can restore from a backup.
Restoring from a Backup
Stop Your Server
Access the XGamingServer Panel and Stop your StarRupture server.
Open Backups
In the sidebar, go to Backups.
Select a Backup
Find the backup you want to restore from the list. Backups are labeled by date and time. Choose the most recent one from before the issue occurred.
Restore the Backup
Click Restore on the backup you selected. Confirm when prompted.
Start Your Server
Start your server. It will load the restored world data.
⚠️ Warning: Restoring a backup will overwrite your current world data. Any progress made after the backup was created will be lost.
Creating Manual Backups
You can also create a manual backup at any time before making major changes.
Open Backups
In the sidebar, go to Backups.
Create a Backup
Click Create Backup. Give it a descriptive name if prompted (e.g., "Before config change").
Wait for Completion
The backup will be created in the background. Larger worlds take longer to back up.
When to Restore a Backup
- After a bad configuration change — If changing settings causes issues
- Corrupted save files — If the server won't load your world
- Accidental deletion — If files were accidentally removed
- Before updating — Restore to roll back if an update causes problems
💡 Tip: Always create a manual backup before making significant changes like editing configuration files, uploading saves, or installing updates.
