Restore a DayZ backup when you need to roll the server back after a failed mod install, broken map change, economy-file edit, or unwanted wipe. Restoring replaces the current server files with the selected backup.

  1. Open your DayZ server in the control panel.
  2. Stop the server.
  3. Click Restore Backup.

  4. Select the backup file you want to restore.

  5. Tick Are you sure?, then click Execute.
  6. Wait for the restore to finish, then start the server.

If you are unsure which backup to restore, submit a support ticket before overwriting the current files.
