Back up your Minecraft server in a few clicks from the game panel: click Manage Server, open Backups, press Create backup and Start Backup. Your server can keep running while it saves.
This backs up your entire Minecraft server, Java or Bedrock, to our offsite storage. The time it takes to create a backup and upload to our offsite storage will depend on the size of your server. Your server does not need to be stopped while creating a backup.
How to back up your Minecraft server
- Log in to your game panel at https://gamepanel2.gtxgaming.co.uk/
- Click Manage Server on the server you wish to backup.
- Click Backups.
- Click the Create backup button.
- You can give the backup a custom name in Backup name or leave it blank and it will add the date and time of the backup automatically.
- Selecting Locked will prevent the backup from being overwritten by scheduled backups.
- Once you have set the options you want for the backup, click Start Backup.
The window also has an Ignored Files & Directories box. Leave it empty to back up everything, which is what you want for a full backup of your server.
