Backing up and restoring your Terraria server is simple once you know the steps. Regular backups protect your progress, and restoring enables you to recover your world when needed.
Important
Due to how Terraria works, player data is stored on your own computer. This means that if your character files are corrupted on your computer, it won’t be possible to restore them from your server backup.
# Backup Your Terraria Server
You can quickly generate a manual backup anytime through your control panel.
- Navigate to the Shockbyte Panel and open your server panel.
- On the left-hand sidebar, click the Backups tab
- Click Instance, then select the server instance you would like to schedule backups on.
- Click Create Backup to begin generating the backup.
