Backups and schedules

How to create server copies and automate recurring tasks.

Creating a manual backup

1. Open Backups in the Game Panel.
2. Click Create backup and enter a name that identifies the moment it was made.
3. Wait for completion before shutting down or restarting the server.
4. When available, periodically download a copy to another location.

The number of backups and retention period depend on your plan.

Restoring a backup

A restore replaces current files with the selected copy. Before confirming it:

• check the backup date and size;
• warn players that progress made after that copy will be lost;
• if possible, back up the current state first.

Schedules

The Schedules menu automates tasks at defined times. A schedule can run commands, send power actions, or create backups, depending on the resources available with your plan.

Example: daily restart

1. Create a schedule at the least busy time.
2. Add a command task that warns players.
3. Add enough delay for players to disconnect.
4. Add the restart action.
5. Enable the schedule and check the next run shown in the panel.

Example: recurring backup

1. Create a separate backup schedule.
2. Choose a frequency that matches server activity.
3. Add the create-backup task.
4. Monitor the first runs to confirm there is enough space and the task completes.

Schedules do not replace backup monitoring. Regularly confirm that copies complete and can be restored.
