You can download the galaxy of your server to your PC at any time – for example as an additional backup or to transfer it to another server.

  1. Stop the server
    Stop your server via the dashboard. Enter /save in the console beforehand so the current state is written to disk.

  2. Connect via SFTP
    Connect to your server via SFTP or use the file browser in the dashboard.

  3. Find the galaxy folder
    Navigate to the data directory /galaxy/ of your server and open the folder named after your galaxy inside it. You can recognise the right folder by the files server.ini, admin.xml and modconfig.lua.

  4. Download the folder
    Download the complete galaxy folder with all its files and subfolders to your PC.

  5. Start the server
    Start your server again.
