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

  1. Stop the server
    Stop your server via the dashboard.

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

  3. Open the cluster folder
    Navigate to the folder that contains the cluster.ini file. That is your cluster folder. Inside you will find the shard folders Master (overworld) and, if the caves are enabled, Caves.

  4. Download the save
    Download the complete save folder:

    <cluster folder>/Master/save/
    
  5. Download the caves
    If the caves are enabled on your server, also download this folder:

    <cluster folder>/Caves/save/
    
  6. Start the server
    Start your server again.
