How to Download the Savegame of Your Voyagers of Nera 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.

In Voyagers of Nera a savegame is always a complete folder named after the server ID. That ID is a random string your server generates itself on the first start.

Caution

Stop your server before downloading the files. The server saves automatically at regular intervals – if you download while it does, the savegame can be incomplete.

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:

   /BoatGame/Saved/PersistedData/

4. Download the savegame folder
   Download the complete folder with the random string in its name – your server ID – including all of its files to your PC.

5. Start the server
   Start your server again.

Which folder is the right one?

The same directory also contains a CustomConfig folder. It holds your server settings and is not a savegame. The folder with the random string is your world.

Caution

A savegame is always the complete folder. Always download it in full – individual files from it do not make a usable savegame.

Back up the configuration as well

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

/BoatGame/Saved/PersistedData/CustomConfig/

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.
