  1. Open your Avorion service and stop it.
  2. Click Restore Backup.
  3. Select the backup by its timestamp, tick Are you sure? and click Execute.

  4. Wait for the restore to finish before starting the server.
  5. Join and check that the expected galaxy has loaded.

If you are unsure which timestamp you need, make a fresh backup of the current state before restoring an older one.
