The Simple Backups mod automatically creates and stores backups of your server in the server files. This guide will go over how to restore these backups.
We recommend enabling automatic backups through our control panel because it only takes one-click to restore these backups. If you'd like to enable automatic backups you can find our guide on the topic here.
