You can download your server's savegame 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
Change to the following directory:
```
/SMALLAND/Saved/SaveGames/Worlds/
```
Download the files
Download the complete Worlds folder to your PC. It contains one <worldname>.wld file per world.
Start the server
Start your server again.

Note

Characters are not stored on the server, they are saved locally on each player's PC. Through the server you only back up the world data such as terrain, structures and tamed creatures. Every player backs up their own character by copying the following folder on their PC:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\SMALLAND\Saved\SaveGames\
