Windrose Dedicated Server - Backup and Restore
Backups
A backup is automatically created every time your server is started or restarted. There is no need to create manual backups — simply restart your server before making any major changes to ensure you have a recent backup to fall back on.
We recommend restarting your server before:
- Updating the server to a new version.
- Making configuration changes.
- Creating or deleting worlds.
Restoring a Backup
- Stop your server.
- Navigate to Restore a backup in the left-hand menu.
- Select the backup you wish to restore from the list.
- Click Restore and confirm.
- Wait for the restore to complete.
- Start your server.
Warning: Restoring a backup will overwrite your current server data, including all world saves and configuration. This action cannot be undone.
What Is Backed Up
Backups include:
- Server configuration — ServerDescription.json (invite code, password, server name, active world)
- World data — All world folders including save data and WorldDescription.json files
- Server settings — Any custom configuration files
