1 min readPro
Backups save your server structure so you can recover from a mistake or an attack.
What is included
Channels, categories, roles, permissions and key settings. Backups do not include message history or member data.
Manual and automatic
- Manual: up to 3, created whenever you want from Back up now in the dashboard.
- Daily: an automatic backup each day, keeping the latest 7.
Create a backup
- Open Backups in the dashboard.
- Choose Create backup.
- Wait for it to finish. It appears in the list with the date and size.
Restore
- Choose a backup and Restore.
- Select what to restore: everything or only roles, channels or settings.
- Review the summary and confirm.
Pair it with anti-nuke
Anti-nuke stops an attack. Backups help you recover when something still slips through.
Restoring
Open Backups in the dashboard and press Restore on a backup. Choose what to restore (roles, channels, module settings) and preview the changes first. Nothing is changed until you confirm.
