World backup

Back Up Dedicated Server Saves

Current answer

Stop the server and copy the desired world files from RSDragonwilds/Saved/Savegames to a separate drive or protected folder. Keep dated names so you can identify recovery points.

Backup checklist

  1. Announce downtime and stop the server cleanly.
  2. Open RSDragonwilds/Saved/Savegames.
  3. Copy every world file needed for recovery.
  4. Store the copy outside the live Savegames folder.
  5. Add a date/build label without changing the active file.
  6. Restart and confirm the live world still loads.

When to back up

Create a recovery point before game updates, server migration, configuration experiments and world replacement. Partner hosting may provide managed progression protection, while self-hosted and cloud setups require the owner to manage backups.
