A BATTALION Legacy server does not store a game world. The server name and the admin password are passed to your server as startup parameters – you enter both in the dashboard. Everything else – round times, map lists, bots and scoring – sits in the configuration files of your server. Those are exactly the files a backup preserves.
When should you create a backup?
- Before changing the configuration files of your server
- Before reinstalling the server files
- As soon as you have found a configuration you are happy with
- At regular intervals so you always have a safe state to return to
