Backups & Restores

Backups are one of the most important parts of running a game server.

KiwiNode makes it easy to create backups, restore them, and even automate them so your world stays safe.

Creating a Backup

1. Open your KiwiNode Game Panel

2. Click the Backups tab in the sidebar

3. Click Create Backup

Your server will generate a full backup of your world and files.

Restoring a Backup

To restore:

1. Go to the Backups tab

2. Find the backup you want

3. Click Restore

⚠️ Restoring will overwrite current files, so only do this if you’re sure.

Scheduling Automatic Backups

You can automate backups using the Schedules system:

1. Go to the Schedules tab

2. Create a new schedule

3. Add a backup task

4. Set how often it should run (daily, weekly, etc.)

5. Create a new task

6. Set the action to Create Backup

This will now create a new backup at the same time every day!

Best Practice

We strongly recommend keeping regular backups, especially before:

• Installing mods/plugins

• Updating server versions

• Making major world changes
