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

Stop the server
Stop your server via the dashboard.
Connect via SFTP
Connect to your server via SFTP.
Open the directory
Navigate to the following directory:
```
/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/server/
```
Note
The folder .config starts with a dot and is therefore hidden. Enable the display of hidden files in your SFTP client if you cannot see it.
Download the save
Download the .sav file you need to your PC. The file name matches the name of the session in the game.
Start the server
Start your server again.

Tip

Back up the configuration as well

If you also want to save your server settings, download the following folder in addition:

/FactoryGame/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/

The server name as well as the admin and server password are stored in the parent folder instead, in a file starting with ServerSettings. that contains the Game Port of your server in its name:

/.config/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames/
