How to create and restore backups

Minefort suggests making a backup of your Minecraft server to protect your data in case of server crashes, hardware failure, or other unexpected events when making changes to your Minecraft server. A backup will allow you to restore your server to a previous state, so you don't lose any important data or progress. Additionally, it also helps in case you want to move your server to a different host or location or want to rollback to an earlier version in case of any issues.

We’ve made backing up your server a breeze! In order to create a backup of your Minefort server, you will need to do the following:

Log in to your Minefort account;
Head to the "My Servers" page in your Minefort dashboard;
Once you are in your server panel, press the "Backups" tab located under your server name and IP;
You will now see the amount of backups you have used, aswell as any previous backups.
In order to make a backup of your Minefort server, simply press the "Create backup" button;



You have now successfully created a backup of your Minefort server! 🫡

In order to restore one of your previous server backups, please do the following:

Press the arrow button at the right side of the backup you wish to restore.
Once you have pressed the restore button, you will receive a pop-up asking you to restore your server files.
Press "Confirm".

Your server backup has now been restored! 😄
