Clicking the Backup - Worlds will execute the command to take a backup of the server. Allow this to complete:


Clicking the Backup Restore - Worlds will give you a drop menu of the available backups you have to restore to. This will wipe all the previous saves and such to restore to the saves of that point of time on the backup. Selecting the backup you want to restore to then click Execute and allow to complete.

Whenever the server takes the backups or you manually use the icon, the backups are stored in the main directory under Backups.


You can use the File Explorer or use FTP to download your backups. If you need a guide on how to use FTP, here is our help article on using FTP:
