Setting up a backup for your Minecraft server is a straightforward process with Pine Hosting. This guide walks you through making backups of your server.
Steps:
- Login to your game panel here
- Select the server you want to work on
- Head over to your Backups Tab
- On the top right, click on "Create Backup"
- Fill in the backup name
- (Optional) Add any files you wish to include or exclude from the backup. Warning: Better to leave it empty unless you know what you are doing.
- (Optional) Enable Database Backups if you have any on the server
- (Optional) Lock the backup to prevent it from being deleted until explicitly unlocked.
- Click on Start Backup on the bottom right
- Once the backup is created, you can restore it by clicking on the 3 dots on the right side of the backup and then click ''Restore''. (Make sure your server is offline before restoring)
- If you have previously excluded any files from the backup, DO NOT check the ''Delete all files before restoring backup'' unless you have previously done a full backup of the server on step 4
- Click Restore and wait or the server installer to fetch the files for you
- Restart your server from Console Tab
Example On How To Exclude Files On Backups:
*
!server
!oxide
!carbon
!HarmonyMods
!HarmonyMods_Data
/oxide/logs
This translates to : Ignore all files except server, oxide, carbon, HarmonyMods, HarmonyMods_Data, and ignore the logs folder inside the oxide folder.
