Protect your world and configuration
Before changing game versions, plugins or important settings, make a backup and wait for it to report completion. Backup availability and limits depend on your plan.
- Check the backup area in your game panel for the latest successful backup.
- Create a new backup if an available slot allows it. Confirm it finishes successfully before continuing.
- Keep a separate copy of important worlds and configuration files using the file-transfer details shown in your panel.
Before restoring
A restore can overwrite current files. Confirm the backup date, server and restore options, and keep a copy of any newer files you want to preserve. If a backup or restore reports an error or appears stuck, contact support before starting another restore or reinstall.
