Regular backups of your Arma 3 server protect you from data loss – whether due to a failed update, a mod update that breaks your configuration or an accidentally overwritten file.
When should you create a backup?
- Before updating the server version
- Before adding, updating or removing mods
- Before major changes to the
server.cfg - Before uploading a different savegame or mission
- At regular intervals so you always have a safe state to return to
