How to Restore a Palworld Backup

Palworld 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.

# How to get started

1. Access your server's control panel and shut down the server.
2. Navigate to the Files tab on your server.
3. Navigate to /Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0, then open the last folder which will usually be named a random string of characters.
4. Delete the Players, Level.sav, and LevelMeta.sav files inside of this folder, they will be replaced by the backup files later.

# Retrieving a Backup

1. Inside the same folder, open the backup folder, then the world folder and identify which backup to restore.
2. Open the folder of the backup that you want to restore.

3. Select all the files inside the backup. It should have Players, Level.sav, and LevelMeta.sav.
4. Select the Move button.
5. Scroll to the end of the file path and remove backup/world/(backup name) from the file path, then move the files.

Now you can start the server and your backup should be restored.
