The panel can create a dated server archive before updates or file changes.
- Stop the server.
- Click Backup Server and confirm the action.
- Wait for the task to finish, then open Restore Backup and confirm that the dated archive is listed.
- Start the server when no further maintenance is needed.
Keep a separate configuration copy: a tested panel restore did not replace the root
DSSettings.txt file. Download that file through FTP before relying on the panel archive.
