Back Ups

We provide 3 local backups with every server. You can create backups manually or set up automated schedules to run at specific times. All backups are stored securely on our infrastructure for your safety and can be restored or deleted at any time.

Manual Backups

Where to Find Backups

Creating a Manual Backup

1. Click Create Backup.

2. (Optional) Enter a custom name or description.

3. Choose whether to ignore specific directories, such as:

logs/
crash-reports/
plugins/dynmap/

This helps reduce backup size and save storage. Optional, of course.

1. Click Start Backup — the process begins immediately in the background.

Large servers (with many worlds or mods) may take several minutes to complete depending on your disk size and activity level.

Managing Backups

Once a backup is created, you can:

• Download it directly for offline storage.

• Restore it to revert your server to that exact saved state.

• Delete it to free up space.

• Lock it from being deleted.

Deleted backups cannot be recovered. Make sure you download important backups before removal.

Automatic Backups (Schedule)

You can automate backups using the Schedules feature in your control panel.
