It is important to frequently backup your server in case something irreversible happens, such as a world corruption, grief or loss of files. With Shockbyte, it is possible to automatically configure backups so you don't have to do this yourself.

Configuring an Automated Backup Schedule

The Shockbyte Panel makes it quick and easy to configure automated backups on your Minecraft server.

Keep in mind though, you can only store up to 3 backups at a time, so you might want to consider using a longer interval during setup.

Step 1:

Navigate to the Shockbyte Panel and open your server panel.

Step 2:

On the left-hand sidebar, click the Backups tab

Click the backups tab on the left-hand sidebar
Step 3:

Choose what Instance or Database you would like to schedule backups on

Select the instance or database you would like to schedule backups for
(Optional) Step 4:

Schedule the time you would like the first backup to generate

Set the time you would like the first backup to generate if you don't want it to be immediate
Step 5:

Enable and set your desired repeating interval duration

Enable the set interval option, then set up how often you would like your backups to generate
Step 6:

Click the confirmation button to Schedule or Start your first backup interval

If you did not schedule the first run time, then the button will say Start Backup instead of Schedule Backup, either way click it to confirm
Step 7:

View, edit, or delete your existing schedules in the Scheduled Backups section

You can check out the scheduled backups section to view, edit, or delete any existing backup schedules you may have or make in the future

That's it! Your server will now automatically backup with the schedule you have defined.
