Details of the issue Hey,

Today I got an issue with my private server, the server files got corrupted. I can't find a solution to how to backup files for a server, only a single player world. If anyone knows how to do the backup please respond!

Thanks in advance

If you haven't turned it off and if I remember correctly - FTB Utilities should be in that pack and provide the same backup function on server as on single player worlds.

Have you checked the /backups-folder?

I do have the backup files. I have been looking around/watching videos and the folder I'm supposed to look for is "saves", which I cant find in my FTB server folder.

Before you do anything, make sure to take a manual copy of the whole server folder and put that somewhere else, in case you do something wrong and delete the wrong stuff - then you can go back and try again.

If you check inside the backup file you will see the name of your world folder (default is just world) - and then it might get clear what folder it is that you're supposed to replace (make sure to remove the old one and paste the backup)
