Restoring a Backup​

  1. Stop and close your client/server
  2. Rename the current world folder to something else (e.g. world_old)
  3. Navigate to the backups folder in your server directory
    • This folder may be different if you have configured a custom backup folder in the ftbbackups2.json config file
  4. Extract the backup you want to restore, the backup files are named by the date and time they were created, so you can easily find the one you want YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS
  5. Copy the extracted world folder into the saves folder or server directory if you are on a server and rename it to world (or whatever your singleplayer world was named/server is configured to use)
  6. Start your client/server and enjoy your restored world!
