How to Backup and Restore Your Windrose Server

Back up and restore your Windrose world save data using the XGamingServer panel.

Your Windrose world data lives in R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/. Regular backups protect against accidental wipes, corrupted saves, and game update issues.

Create a Backup

Stop your server from the Dashboard (optional but recommended for a clean backup).

In the panel sidebar, click Backups.

Click Create Backup. Give it a name (e.g. "Before Update" or "Week 3 Save").

Wait for the backup to complete. It will appear in the list with a timestamp.

Restore a Backup

⚠️ Restoring overwrites your current server files. Create a backup of the current state first if you want to keep it.

Stop your server.

In the panel sidebar, click Backups.

Find the backup you want to restore and click the three-dot menu (⋮) → Restore.

Confirm the restore. The panel will extract the backup over your server files.

Start your server once the restore finishes.

Download a Backup

You can download backup archives to store them locally:

In Backups, click the three-dot menu (⋮) on any backup
Click Download
Save the archive file to your computer

Manual World Backup (File Manager)

If you want to back up just the world data without a full server backup:

Stop your server.

Open File Manager and navigate to R5/Saved/SaveProfiles/Default/RocksDB/.

Right-click the folder and select Compress (creates a zip archive in-place).

Download the zip file to your computer.
