# How to Restore an AutoSave Backup for a Palworld Server

> A guide on restoring an autosave backup for your Palworld server to restore and rollback lost data or progress.

Lost your server's save data, bases, character progress or need to rollback in time? Has your [Palworld server](https://berrybyte.net/palworld-server-hosting) been wiped and is prompting you to create a new character?

By default, [Palworld](https://www.pocketpair.jp/palworld) servers [create automatic save backups](./enable-autosave-automatic-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

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.
