Backing up files with Cloud Saves

Cloud Saves stores selected server files remotely. Use it to keep a copy of saves or other files away from the server's working disk. It is available to the account owner on eligible Premium services.

Sync files to the cloud​

  1. Select the correct server in CreeperPanel and open File Manager.
  2. Find the file or folder you want to copy.
  3. Open its context menu and choose Sync to cloud.
  4. Check the selected item, confirm Sync, and wait for the result.
  5. Open Cloud Saves to browse the stored copy.

For a world that is actively being written to, stop the game cleanly before taking a manual copy so its files are consistent. Start it again when the sync has finished.

Schedule a sync​

Open Scheduler → Add Task, select Cloud Saves, then choose the service or instance to sync. Set the interval, check the summary and save the task. The Scheduler guide explains assisted and manual schedules and the time zone shown by the panel.

Check Cloud Saves after the first scheduled run to make sure the files you expected are present.

Download, restore or remove stored files​

Open Cloud Saves and browse the server and folders. Its Usage indicator shows how much of the available cloud quota is used.

  • Open a file's context menu and choose Download to keep a copy on your computer.
  • Choose Restore on the relevant file or folder. For individual files, select the destination when asked. Read the overwrite confirmation before proceeding; folder restores also warn that existing files will be overwritten.
  • Choose Delete to remove a stored copy you no longer need.

Before restoring a world, stop the game and keep a copy of any current progress you want to retain. Restoring older files can replace newer progress. Deleting a cloud copy removes that recovery option, so download anything you still need first.
