How to Download the Savegame of Your Soulmask Server

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

Caution

Stop your server before downloading the files. While the server is running it saves regularly — otherwise you would download an incomplete or corrupted savegame.

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

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

3. Open the directory
   Go to the following directory:

   /WS/Saved/Worlds/Dedicated/Level01_Main/

4. Download the world data
   Download the world.db file from this directory to your PC. It contains your complete world including buildings, player and character data.

5. Download the gameplay settings (optional)
   If you also want to save your gameplay settings, go to the following directory as well and download the GameXishu.json file:

   /WS/Saved/GameplaySettings/

6. Start the server
   Start your server again.

Find the right folder

The Level01_Main folder corresponds to the default map Cloud Mist Forest. If your server runs a different map, the world.db is located in the folder matching the value of the map setting in the dashboard (e.g. DLC_Level01_Main for Shifting Sands).

Restore the savegame

If you want to transfer 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 function: Create backup.
