ARK rollback in a few clicks: stop your ARK: Survival Evolved server, press Rollback Server in the game panel, pick the snapshot date to go back to, press Execute and start the server again.
A rollback takes your server's progress back to an earlier snapshot. It's handy after a griefing raid, a bad mod update or a wipe you didn't mean to do.
How to do an ARK rollback on your server
- Stop your server.
- Press the Rollback Server (*) button in your game panel.
- Choose the desired snapshot date to roll back to.
- Accept the confirmation and press the Execute button. Don't close the window until the process finishes.
- Start your server.
(*) Some games don't have Rollback Server button support.
Everything that happened on the server after the snapshot you pick is lost: player progress, dinos and buildings go back to that date. Tell your players before you roll back.
