Creating and Restoring Snapshots of Your TeamSpeak 3 Server

TeamSpeak 3 snapshots let you create or restore a copy of the virtual server state. Use the control panel snapshot actions when your service includes them.

Create or restore a snapshot in the control panel

1. Log in to your control panel and open the TeamSpeak 3 server.
2. Open the Actions tab.
3. Click Create Snapshot to save a snapshot of the current server state.
4. Click Restore Snapshot if you need to restore a saved snapshot.
5. Restart or reconnect to TeamSpeak after a restore and check channels, permissions, and users.

Command line installs

If you installed TeamSpeak yourself on a VPS or dedicated server, snapshot commands can vary by install method. Common command names include:

ts3server_create_snapshot.sh
ts3server_restore_snapshot.sh

Run the command from your TeamSpeak server directory and check the TeamSpeak documentation for your installed version. If your LogicServers TeamSpeak service uses the control panel, use the panel snapshot actions instead.

Before restoring

Restoring data can replace newer files on the server. Stop the server first and confirm you have selected the correct backup, date, and service before continuing.

After the restore

Start the server and join once the restore task has finished. If the server loads older data than expected, stop it and check whether a different backup or save folder was restored.
