DocumentationHow to Create a Backup of Your Barotrauma Server
Regular backups of your Barotrauma server protect you from data loss — whether due to a failed update, a faulty configuration or an accidentally deleted save.
When should you create a backup?
- Before updating the server version
- Before installing or removing mods, plugins or add-ons
- Before major changes to the world or configuration
- At regular intervals so you always have a safe state to return to
Create a backup
You can find the exact process for creating, managing and restoring a backup in the general guide: Create Backup.
Tip
Lock important backups (e.g. before major changes) so they cannot be overwritten by automatic backups. Also download especially important backups to your PC in case your backup limit is reached.
Info
Automatic backups as well as restarts can be requested free of charge via a support ticket. The "Scheduled Tasks" feature is currently in development and will be released this year.
