Backups & restores

Create a backup now

1. Panel → Backups → Create Backup.
2. Name it (e.g. before-1.21-update).
3. Wait for the progress bar — big worlds take a few minutes.

Backups are stored off the game container, so a crashed server does not take them with it.

Automatic schedules (set this up once)

1. Panel → Schedules → Create Schedule.
2. Timing: e.g. daily at 04:00, or every 6 hours.
3. Task: Create backup (optionally Delete backup after N days).
4. Save.

WARNING

A schedule that only creates backups will eventually fill your backup quota. Always add a delete task after a retention window.

Restore a backup

1. Stop the server.
2. Panel → Backups → pick the backup → Restore.
3. Wait for it to finish, then Start.

Restoring overwrites current files — take a fresh backup first if you are unsure.

Off-site copies

Panel backups live on VexaNode infrastructure. For disaster recovery, occasionally download a .tar.gz and keep it somewhere else (Google Drive, S3, etc.).
