¶ How to Restore Saves from Server Backups
If your save game data ever gets lost or corrupted due to the server crashing, you can restore your data from the automated server backups.
The autmoated backups only run every 2 hours if the server is online. If the server is scheduled to be stopped, or has crashed, it will not create a backup slot.
If you do not currently see any backup data in the nitro panel, you can manually create a backup file. More info on how to do that can be found here:
How to Create Backups

- This window will close once completed, you can now return to the console and start your server.
