The backup feature through the control panel is a separate service that we offer and it affects both single servers and cluster servers simultaneously. If you want / need to restore a specific server, such as your primary one, you can do this via FTP. For instructions on how to use FTP, please refer to the [https://www.survivalservers.com/wiki/index.php?title=FTP_Access FTP Access] page.

Using FTP, your backups will be found in /ShooterGame/Saved/CubeServers/CubeWorld_Light/XXXX/Map/, where XXXX is the game server ID associated with your account.Inside this folder, there will be various files and backups for world. Tribe Backups can be found at /ShooterGame/Saved/CubeServers/CubeWorld_Light/XXXX/Tribe/. Player data is located in /ShooterGame/Saved/SavedPixArkXXXX/Profile/, where XXXX is the game server ID associated with your account.

The world backups have a specific file format as follows: MapName_Day.Month.Year_Hour.Minute.Second.ark.
