Create a backup before updates, mod changes, world wipes, config edits, or branch changes. Backups give you a restore point if a mod update, save change, or settings edit causes issues.
- Open your Project Zomboid server in the control panel.
- Click Backup Server.
- Wait for the backup task to finish before making further changes.
For the cleanest backup before major changes, stop the server first. For small config edits, a normal panel backup is usually enough.
