#Introducing Guaranteed Backups: Total Peace of Mind for Your Server

Whether you are hosting a small, cozy server just for your closest friends or managing a sprawling 100-player community, your world is your most valuable asset. You and your community pour hundreds of hours into building, exploring, and surviving. The last thing you should ever have to worry about is losing that progress.

As servers grow, so do their file sizes. Traditionally, server owners have had to play a balancing act with backup storage quotas; constantly monitoring file sizes to ensure their automated backups don't fail due to hitting a storage cap.

You shouldn't have to micromanage your safety net. So now you don't.

#What is the Guaranteed Backup Feature?

Put simply, Guaranteed Backup ensures that your primary backup slot will always fit your full server. Regardless of your backup’s total file size or any other storage limitations on your account, this primary slot acts as a failsafe that scales infinitely alongside your world. If your server is 5GB or 500GB, your primary backup will successfully capture and store every single byte of your server data.

#Why We Built It

We noticed that as communities thrive and worlds expand, their backup files can easily bump against standard storage limits. When a backup fails because of a lack of space, it leaves your server vulnerable to griefing, corruption, or accidental wipes.

With Guaranteed Backup, we are removing backup storage anxiety entirely.

#Key Benefits

  • Zero Storage Anxiety: Never wake up to a "Backup Failed: Storage Full" notification on your primary slot again.
  • Infinite Scaling: Build as large as you want, explore as far as you want, and add as many mods as you want. Your primary backup will always have room for your entire server.
  • Total Peace of Mind: Rest easy knowing that even if you exceed your standard storage quotas for secondary backups, your primary safety net is fully intact and ready to restore at a moment's notice.

#How to Use It

The best part? You don't need to be a technical expert to keep your data safe. The Guaranteed Backup feature applies automatically to your primary backup slot in the Shockbyte control panel. Just ensure your primary backup is scheduled, and we handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

Focus on building your server. We’ll focus on keeping it safe.
