  1. Open your service and stop the server.
  2. Click Restore Backup.
  3. Select the required timestamp, tick Are you sure? and click Execute.

  5. Join the server and check that the expected world and settings have returned.

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