Open Server Manage → Backups to view the available backup actions. A Core Keeper backup covers the server volume, including saved data and configuration. It is a full-server recovery point rather than a world-only export.

Create a backup

1. Stop the server if you are about to make a major world or mod change.
2. Open Backups and choose Create Backup.
3. Wait for the backup job to finish. A queued or running job is not yet a recovery point.
4. Confirm the finished backup appears in the list before continuing.

Create a recovery point before installing or removing mods, restoring older data, or trying a consequential configuration change. The current Backups tab offers manual backups; it does not provide a customer-configurable backup schedule or retention rule.

Download or restore

You can download a backup for safekeeping. To restore one, choose the intended backup and follow the on-screen confirmation. Restore returns the full server to that saved state and can replace newer saves, settings, and mods. Confirm the backup date and keep a copy of the current state before proceeding if you may need to return to it.

After restoration, start the server and check its status and Console output. Join the world to confirm it loads and contains the expected progress before inviting the group back.

World-only copies

Core Keeper world-only export/import is not currently available in the dashboard. Do not move or overwrite individual files under the configured world-data folder. See World Management for the current limitation.

For general backup controls and resources and pricing, see the related guides. Never include passwords or Steam Game IDs in a support request.
