Can you roll back or reload my server to a previous state?
The way back to a known-good state is to restore an earlier copy of your files. While our new backup system is being finished, that means using a copy you (or we) saved before the problem appeared.
How it works
A rollback is really just putting your earlier files back in place. If you have a downloaded snapshot from before things went wrong, you can upload it and overwrite the current state — carefully, so you don't lose anything you still need.
How to roll back
- If you have a downloaded copy from before the problem, upload it via Files/SFTP (stop the server first).
- Replace the affected files/world and confirm the world name matches your config.
- Restart and verify.
Warning: Our one-click Backups tab is temporarily unavailable while we upgrade to a faster, deduplicated system, so rollbacks currently rely on copies you (or we) made earlier. Replacing files overwrites current data — copy the present state first.
Tips & best practices
- Download your files periodically via Files/SFTP so a rollback copy always exists while the new backup system is being finished.
Frequently asked questions
I have no copy from before the issue — is there anything you can do? Open a ticket and we'll see what's available; options depend on what copies exist.
Does restoring keep my map? Yes — it puts back the world exactly as it was in that copy, including your map.
