Backups & Snapshots
Safeguard your map's progress by creating and restoring snapshots.
The Backup Module provides a powerful snapshot system to protect your hard work. A snapshot is a complete copy of your map's state, including the world schematic and all of its configured logic (modules, properties, functions, etc.).
You can manage your map's snapshots in /editmap -> Backups (Chest).
Types of Snapshots
There are three types of snapshots:
- Manual: You create these yourself whenever you want to save a significant milestone. Your rank determines how many manual snapshots you can store (e.g., Maker+ gets more slots than Voter).
- Automatic: The system automatically creates a snapshot of your map periodically (e.g., every hour), but only if changes have been detected since the last automatic snapshot. This provides a regular, hands-off safety net.
- Pre-Restore: This is a special type of automatic backup. Before you restore your map from any snapshot, the system takes a
Pre-Restoresnapshot of the current state. This ensures you can always revert the restore if you make a mistake.
Managing Snapshots
In the Backup Menu, you can perform several actions:
Create Snapshot
Click the "Create Snapshot" button (Writable Book) to create a new manual snapshot. You will be prompted to provide:
- A Name: A short, descriptive name (e.g., "Pre-Redstone Update", "V1 Release").
- A Description (Optional): More detailed notes about what this version contains.
Restore Snapshot
To revert your map to a previous state, simply left-click the snapshot you want to restore.
- Confirmation: You will be asked to confirm this action.
- Process: The system will first create a
Pre-Restoresnapshot of your map's current state, then overwrite your current map with the data from the selected snapshot. - Result: All players will be kicked from the map. You will need to rejoin to see the restored version.
Edit and Delete Snapshots
For Manual snapshots, you have more options:
- Right-Click: Rename the snapshot.
- Shift-Left-Click: Edit the snapshot's description.
- Shift-Right-Click: Permanently delete the snapshot. This is useful for freeing up a slot for a new manual backup. You can also delete Automatic and Pre-Restore snapshots to free up space if you've hit your automatic limit.
