Backups & restoring

Updated 4 Nov 2026

Make a backup now

Open the Backups tab and click Create Backup. It works while the server runs.

Back up every night

  1. Open the Schedules tab and create a schedule.
  2. Set it to run at 4:00 every day.
  3. Add a task: Create backup.
Backup slots

Your plan has a set number of backup slots. Delete old ones, or new backups stop.

Restore a backup

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Make a backup of how it is now, in case you need it.
  3. On the Backups tab, choose Restore on the backup you want.
  4. Start the server and check.
Restoring replaces everything

Anything done since that backup is lost.

Get back just one thing

Download the backup instead, unzip it on your computer, and upload only the folder or file you need.

Keep a copy at home

Download a backup now and then. A copy on your own computer is safe even if something happens to the server.

Problems

The backup failed

You may be out of slots or disk space. Delete an old backup.

I restored but nothing changed

The server was running. Stop it first, then restore.

Someone griefed a build

Use the CoreProtect plugin to roll back just that player, instead of a full restore.
