The File backups tab makes a zip of your files while everything keeps running. Your game servers don't need to be stopped.
Make a backup
- Open your server in the panel and click File backups.
- Choose what to back up:
- Whole server: every file on C:.
- Game servers: only
C:\HTN, where the one-click games live. - One folder: type the folder, for example
C:\HTN\FiveM.
- Click Create backup.
The backup appears in the list with its progress. When it's done, you'll see its size and time. Each backup is one zip, named with your server's name, the date and the time.
Copy backups off the server
Backups are saved on your server in C:\HTN-Backups. If you reinstall the server or it's lost, they go too, so keep a copy on your own PC:
- On your PC, open Remote Desktop Connection, click Show Options, then Local Resources, then More. Tick Drives and connect.
- On the server, open
C:\HTN-Backups. - Open This PC on the server. Your own drives are listed there, so drag the zip onto one.
Good to know
- Copy path copies a backup's full location on the server.
- Delete removes a backup you don't need any more. This can't be undone.
- Before a backup starts, the panel shows how much free space your server has. Backups need room on C: to be saved.
