How to Download the World of Your Space Engineers Server

1 min read
Jul 30, 2026

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

  3. Open the world folder
    Go to the following folder on the server:

    /config/Saves/World/
    
  4. Download the world data
    Download the complete contents of this folder to your PC – among others Sandbox.sbc, Sandbox_config.sbc and the .sbs files. Always download all files; individual files on their own do not make a working world.

  5. Start the server
    Start your server again.
