Backups & Restores

Backups protect your server from data loss, crashes, corruption, or accidental file changes. berrybyte also takes daily off-site backups automatically, giving you an extra layer of protection.

​

Creating Backups

Go to the Backups tab in your game panel and click Create Backup. You’ll see a form that lets you customize the backup:

​

Options

• Backup Name — optional; leave blank for an automatic timestamp
• Ignored Files & Directories — skip files/folders (e.g., /plugins/Dynmap/*)
• Locked — prevents accidental deletion

Click Start Backup to begin.

Mounting Backups

If you need to restore specific files instead of the entire server, use Mount Backup. Mounting turns a backup into a read-only folder you can browse.

​

How to Mount

1. Click the three dots on a backup
2. Select Mount
3. A new folder will appear in your File Manager

​

Restoring Files from a Mounted Backup

Open the mounted folder, select any files or folders, then choose:

• Restore — restores files to their original location
• Move — restores files to a different folder

Off-Site Backups

We automatically take off-site backups every 24 hours, stored for 14 days.
These backups are kept on remote storage and can be restored on request.

​

To request an off-site backup restore:

Create a ticket with:

• Your server ID (Settings → Debug Information)
• Your email address
• The date of the backup you want
