control panel: edit configuration and back up server filesIllustration: RoxServers guide overview.

Before a significant change, keep a copy of the world and configuration outside the server. Configuration files alone do not protect the world or player progress.

Edit a setting

  1. Inform players, save the game and stop the server when required.
  2. Use Config Files for supported configuration files or File Manager to browse folders.
  3. Download the original file first. Change only the required setting and preserve valid quoting, commas and indentation.
  4. Save, restart if needed, then inspect Logs.

Create a complete backup

Identify the world folder, configuration, mod list and any additional data. For a consistent copy, save the game and shut down normally before downloading. Use File Manager or the transfer access provided with your service. Use the actual protocol and connection details; do not assume an SFTP port.

Restore carefully

Keep a copy of the current state before restoring a consistent world and extension set. Do not mix incompatible versions. Ask support before overwriting files if unsure. Do not assume that automatic backups exist or have a particular retention period.
