A world backup gives you a saved point to return to. This guide covers the dashboard workflow for a supported game server on Multiverse.
1. Prepare the server
Tell your group before interrupting a session. Stop the server and wait for confirmation that it is stopped before backing up or replacing the world. Avoid submitting other server actions while a world operation is in progress.
2. Keep a copy
Open Server settings → Worlds & backups. Create a backup and wait for it to complete before downloading it. If the current-world Download action asks for a fresh backup, complete that step first. For servers using offline world storage, a verified shutdown save is required for the current-world download.
Keep a downloaded copy somewhere you control before replacing a world. Check that you have the intended world and that the ZIP opens. World backups do not include configuration history or local player character saves.
3. Choose the world to install
Choose a saved backup to restore, or use Upload to select a replacement world ZIP. The upload limit is 2 GiB. Wait for upload verification, then review the replacement panel. Uploading alone does not replace the active world.
4. Confirm replacement carefully
Keep the server stopped. Review the displayed world name and type the exact filename requested by the confirmation form. Keep the safety backup enabled where offered unless you have deliberately chosen to skip it and already have a copy you can recover from. Follow the panel’s acknowledgements before confirming.
The ZIP is validated before installation. If validation fails, read the error and correct the archive instead of repeatedly retrying the same file.
5. Start and check
Wait for the operation to finish, then start the server yourself. Join the game and check the expected world before inviting everyone back. If you use scheduled backups, review the schedule, retention, timezone, and running-server behavior in the backup settings as well.
