Mordhau does not store a game world or player progress on your server – the players' characters belong to their accounts. What is worth saving is therefore mainly your configuration: the Game.ini holds your admins, your bans, your mod list and your map rotation, among other things. If that file is lost, you have to set up your server from scratch.
When should you create a backup?
- Before updating the server version
- Before major changes to the configuration
- Before adding or removing mods
- After you have finished setting up your map rotation, your admins and your rules
- At regular intervals so you always have a safe state to return to
Create a backup
You can find the exact process for creating, managing and restoring a backup in the general guide: Create Backup.
Back up the configuration separately
If you only want to save your settings, download the following folder to your PC via SFTP:
/Mordhau/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/
It contains the Game.ini with your server settings and the Engine.ini.
