How to Schedule Server Backups or Restarts

Automating backups and restarts helps keep your server stable and your data safe. ✔️ Our panel includes a scheduler that lets you set these tasks to run automatically at specific times.


⛏️ Why Schedule Backups or Restarts?

  • ✔️ Regular backups protect your world data in case of corruption, crashes, or griefing
  • ✔️ Regular restarts clear memory and improve server performance

Scheduling these tasks ensures your server stays healthy without you needing to do it manually every day. ✅


⏰ Step 1: Access the Scheduler

  • ➡️ Log into your panel and select your server
  • ➡️ Go to the Schedules tab
  • ➡️ Click Create Schedule

This is where you’ll define the timing and action.


⚔️ Step 2: Create a Scheduled Restart

  • ➡️ Set a name like Daily Restart
  • ➡️ Choose a time and frequency (e.g. every 24 hours at 3:00 AM)
  • ➡️ Add a new task with the action Restart Server

✔️ Use off-peak hours to avoid disrupting players.


➕ Step 3: Create a Scheduled Backup

  • ➡️ Create a second schedule and name it Daily Backup
  • ➡️ Choose the time and frequency (e.g. every 12 or 24 hours)
  • ➡️ Add a task with the action Create Backup

✔️ Backups are stored in your server’s backup section and can be downloaded anytime.


✅ Tips for Effective Scheduling

  • ✔️ Set backups to run shortly before a restart for clean data
  • ✔️ Avoid overlapping tasks (e.g. backup and restart at the same exact time)
  • ✔️ Keep an eye on disk usage if you schedule frequent backups

➡️ You can delete old backups from the File Manager or panel backup tab to free space.
