Regular backups of your The Cenozoic Era server protect you from data loss – whether due to a failed update, a broken configuration file or a change you want to undo.
When should you create a backup?
- Before updating the server version
- Before major changes to the configuration, for example to growth, breeding or the game mode
- Before you exchange files via SFTP
- 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.
What the backup contains
The backup saves the complete server directory. This also includes the configuration of your server, which is located in the following directory, accessible via SFTP:
/TheCenozoicEra/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/
Among other things, this is where the Game.ini with your server settings is stored. The folder /TheCenozoicEra/Saved/Logs/ additionally contains the server logs.
