How to Restore an AutoSave Backup for a Palworld Server

Lost your server’s save data, bases, character progress or need to rollback in time? Has your Palworld server been wiped and is prompting you to create a new character?

By default, Palworld servers create automatic save backups that can allow you to go back to a previous save or restore player characters and base progress. Here are the steps:

​

Restoring a backup

1. Stop the server
2. Open the Files tab
3. Navigate to /Pal/Saved/SaveGames/<ID>/backup/world
4. Go into the folder of the backup you would like to restore and select all files

5. Press Archive, and move the archive to /Pal/Saved/SaveGames

6. Unarchive the archive to restore the save and overwrite existing files

7. Start the server

This will rollback to the autosave to your server and restore the lost progress and fix the character prompting issue.
