Minecraft server backups

A backup is a copy of all the server's files: the world, plugins, mods and configuration. You find them in Panel → Servers → server → Backups.

Manual backup

Click Create backup and give it a name, e.g. "before the update". Make one before every bigger change: a new engine, a modpack or a game version update.

Automatic backups

You can turn on backups made on a schedule. When your package's backup limit is full, the oldest unlocked backup is deleted to make room for the new one.

Lock an important backup. A locked backup is never deleted automatically.

Restoring

1. Click Restore next to the backup.
2. The server stops and its files are replaced with the backup's content.
3. Start the server again after the restore.

You can also download a backup to your computer as an archive.

How many backups

The number of backups depends on the package. You get a bigger limit in Extend.
