Restore a backup from Automatic backups
Updated 16 October 2026 · 3 minute read · Every game on Exclsv · By Exclsv Support
Every hour HQ saves your server and keeps the copies for up to 48 hours. Pick a time to go back to. Your world as it is now is kept too, so a restore can always be undone.
What is kept
- Hourly backups, kept for up to 48 hours. They have their own space, up to half of your plan’s disk. If it fills, the oldest go first and HQ tells you.
- Off-site backups every 6 hours, encrypted and kept in another data centre, with 7 daily copies kept, in case the hardware itself fails.
- Deleted files wait in the Bin for 7 days, and setting changes have an Undo button for 30 days.
Go back to a backup
- In HQ, open your server and choose Backups, then Automatic backups.
- Pick a time in the last 48 hours. HQ lists what going back would undo, such as a mod update or a settings change.
- Choose Go back. HQ stops the server, puts the files back and starts it again. Players are disconnected while it restores.
Changed your mind?
HQ keeps your world exactly as it was before the restore, so you can go forward again from the same page.
Get one file back
If you only deleted a file, open Bin on the Backups tab and choose Put back. Deleted files are kept for 7 days.
If it doesn’t work
The backup I want isn’t there
Backups are kept for up to 48 hours. For anything older, use an off-site backup from Backups; 7 daily copies are kept, or 30 with the 30-day history add-on.
Fewer than 48 hours are listed
Backup space is up to half of your plan’s disk. A world that changes a lot can fill it sooner, and then the oldest copies go first.
