You can download your server's savegame to your PC at any time – for example as an additional backup or to move it to another server.

Stop the server
Stop your server via the dashboard.
Connect via SFTP
Connect to your server via SFTP.
Open the directory
Change to the following directory:
```
/AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds/
```
Download the world folder
Download the complete folder of your world with all of its files to your PC. By default the folder is called Cascade.
Start the server
Start your server again.

Tip

Back up the settings as well

The gameplay and sandbox settings of your world are stored in the SandboxSettings.ini file inside the world folder – so it is downloaded together with that folder. The start parameter -SandboxIniPath= can place the file somewhere else, for example directly under /AbioticFactor/Saved/.

Your admin list sits outside the world folder and has to be saved separately:

/AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Admin.ini
