How to Back Up Your Minecraft World

Use the one‑click Backup World tool to save a snapshot of your server. This is the safest way to protect your world before installing plugins/mods or making big changes.

Before You Start

• Stop the server to ensure a consistent backup.
• Name backups clearly, e.g., 2025-10-24_pre_plugin_update.

Back Up with One Click

1. In the side menu, click Backup World.
2. Enter a name (or keep the default timestamp).
3. Confirm to start the backup and wait for success.
4. Start the server again.

After you you have clicked the world backup you should see a drop down, Click the world as in the screenshot below:

Once you are ready click execute.

You can find the backup folder within the "File Manager" where your files are and you should see a backup folder containing your world.

(Optional) Manual Backup via SFTP

Use this only if you prefer manual control.

• Connect with SFTP (port is shown under the server IP in your panel).
• Download the /world* folders (and /plugins//mods if needed).

Check the Console for Errors

If anything looks off after a backup and restart, check the logs:

1. Open Web Console to view live messages. Look for ERROR or WARN.
2. Open Log Viewer for latest.log and past logs.

Tips

• Always back up before installing new plugins or switching modpacks.
• Keep at least two backups: one recent, one older.
