How to backup a dedicated server?


Badmethod

Recommended Posts

I tried the support forums but I don't think they get read all that much so trying here, hope that's ok if not please delete.

Hi guys. Can't seem to find a definitive  answer to this question so I thought I'd ask here. All I want to do is make sure my dedicated server is backed up but all the answers I have found so far are confusing. Do I do it from the server terminal window while the game is running via some sort of command or do I log in via single player on the server computer and do some sort of save that way? Wife and I are rather invested in this save and don't want to lose it hehe. Any and all help appreciated. :)

Whenever we back it up, we shut down the server, then either manually back up the save file, or if it was a single player world opened to the multi, through the Backup button. For what it's worth, we've only had to restore one backup, and that's because the guy hosting it had a flaky hard drive. We have never had to restore a dedicated server, though we have migrated one.
