Backups
Backups protect your server data. Create snapshots before making changes, and restore quickly if something goes wrong.
Why Backups Matter
- Protection - Recover from accidental deletions or corruption
- Safety net - Undo changes that break your server
- Peace of mind - Know your data is safe
- Migration - Move data between servers
We recommend creating a backup before making any significant changes to your server.

How Backups Work
When you create a backup:
- Snapshot - Your server files are captured
- Compression - Files are compressed to save space
- Storage - The backup is stored securely
- Available - Ready for download or restore
What's Backed Up
Backups include:
- ✓ World data
- ✓ Configuration files
- ✓ Plugin/mod configurations
- ✓ Player data
- ✓ Custom files you've uploaded
Backup Limits
Each plan includes a number of backup slots:
| Plan | Backup Slots |
|---|---|
| Starter | 3 |
| Pro | 5 |
| Elite | 10 |
| Ultimate | 20 |
Once you reach your backup limit, you'll need to delete old backups before creating new ones.
