Regular backups of your DayZ server protect you from data loss – whether due to a failed update, a faulty configuration or an accidentally deleted save.
When should you create a backup?
- Before updating the server version
- Before installing or removing mods, plugins or add-ons
- Before major changes to the world or configuration
- At regular intervals so you always have a safe state to return to
