How to Download the Savegame of Your HumanitZ Server

You can download your server's savegame to your PC at any time – for example as an additional backup or to move it to another server.

Caution

Stop your server before downloading the files. HumanitZ saves automatically while running – if you download during that, the savegame can be incomplete.

Project folder

All paths in this guide start with the project folder HumanitZServer. If your server still runs a version older than HumanitZ 1.0, that folder is called TSSGame instead. Check via SFTP which of the two folders exists on your server and adjust the paths accordingly.

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard.

2. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

3. Open the directory
   Change to the following directory:

   /HumanitZServer/Saved/SaveGames/SaveList/

4. Download the folder
   Download the complete Default folder with all of its files to your PC.

5. Start the server
   Start your server again.

Which files belong to the savegame?

File	Content
Save_<name>.sav	The actual savegame with the world, bases, vehicles and player data. By default the file is called Save_DedicatedSaveMP.sav.
Save_ClanData.sav	The clan and group data of your server

Caution

Always download the complete Default folder. If Save_ClanData.sav is missing, the clan data is lost when you restore the savegame.

Which name is the right one?

The name of your savegame file is defined by the SaveName value in the [Host Settings] section of the file /HumanitZServer/GameServerSettings.ini. If it says SaveName="DedicatedSaveMP", then Save_DedicatedSaveMP.sav is your current savegame.

Back up the configuration as well

If you also want to save your server settings, download the following files in addition:

/HumanitZServer/GameServerSettings.ini
/HumanitZServer/F_BannedPlayers.txt
/HumanitZServer/F_MVPAccess.txt

The two text files only exist if you have set up bans or a whitelist.

Restore the savegame

If you want to move the savegame back to a server later, follow the guide Add Savegame.

Regular backups

For automatic or regular backups you can also use the backup feature: Create Backup.
