⚠ Important Notes ⚠

Here are some important notes before starting.

If this process is failing in any way, we please you to restore your backup manually as our guide is telling here. Restoring it manually is the most efficient way to do as you can also test the backup in single-player.

Also, please note that we do not touch the server files in any way, we do not delete them or backup. If you do not backup yourself the server files you will not be able to restore them.

You MUST delete (or rename to something else) your current world folder before restoring a backup. For safety, you can download the old world folder to your PC via FileZilla as our guide is telling here, then rename or delete it.
