Minecraft worlds, player inventories, plugin data, and modpack files can change while the server is running. Stop the server before taking a backup if you are about to update, install plugins, change modpacks, edit worlds, or reset player data.

Back up the Minecraft files

  1. Open your Minecraft server in the Ptero control panel, then open Backups.
  2. Click Create Backup.

  3. Enter a name that explains why you are taking it, such as Before plugin update, Before new modpack, or Before world reset.
  4. Leave Ignored Files & Directories blank for a normal Minecraft backup. Only add exclusions if you are sure a file or folder does not need saving.
  5. Use Locked for backups you do not want deleted by accident, such as a backup before a major version or modpack change.
  6. Click Start Backup.

Wait until the backup has completed before starting the server or changing files. Modded servers and large worlds can take longer.
