You can set up the Game Server Manager to create a full backup of your game server every day at a specific time. Just follow these steps:

  • Go to the game server of your choice.
  • Wait until the Game Server Manager is fully loaded.
  • Go to the „Backups“ tab.
  • Click the „Settings“ button in the Contents tab.
  • Select „Create automatic backup daily“ and save the settings.

Maximum backup quantity

The max. backup count specifies how many backups should remain stored. Before each new backup, older backups are deleted to save space. Enter 0 to not remove backups automatically. Please note that you do not have infinite memory on your server.

Stop server at backup

If you enable this option, the server will be stopped before a backup operation. After the backup is created, the server will be restarted if it was on before.

We recommend that you turn this option on. If files change during the backup process, the backup could be faulty in case of doubt.

Create automatic backup daily

If this checkbox is enabled, a backup is created daily at the specified time. We recommend creating a backup at a time when there are most likely few players connected to the server. This ensures that the backup runs faster and, if the stop option is enabled, also for less noticeable downtime.
