If you’re wondering what the autosave feature does on your server and how you can get started with backups, you’re in the right place.
❓ What Is the Autosave Feature ❓
First off, all of our Vanilla servers come with a feature called autosave enabled by default.
This feature is built into your Multicraft control panel, so every server has these features as we issue every server with a Multicraft control panel.
What Is the Backup Feature
Backups are not the same as autosaves. They are used to restore your world to a previous point.
In few words, a backup compresses your world files into a specific .zip
file, which is placed in your main FTP directory (root directory) so you can restore your world whenever you need it.
Difference Between an Autosave and a Backup
The main difference between an autosave and a backup is that you cannot revert back to an autosave as it is just the Multicraft function that is overwriting the world so your server can keep up with your in-game progress.
