How to Back Up Your Minecraft Server on FreeMCServer.com
FreeMCServer.com includes a built-in backup system so you never have to worry about losing your world.
Creating a backup
- Open your server in the dashboard
- Click the Backups tab
- Click Create Backup — the entire server directory is saved as a snapshot
Restoring a backup
- Go to the Backups tab and find your backup
- Click Restore — your server will be rolled back to that point in time
- Your server will restart automatically after restoration
Downloading a backup
You can download any backup as a ZIP file for local storage. We recommend keeping at least one local copy of important worlds.
Pro tip: Create a backup before installing new plugins or mods. If something breaks, you can instantly roll back.
Automatic backups
Servers with an Always-On upgrade receive automatic daily backups with a 7-day retention window.
