Help CenterOne of the many uses of the Schedules tab is creating backups of your server to prevent unnecessary data loss in case something goes wrong. This guide will show you how to set up automatic backups using our Panel.
NOTE: Our servers are set up to create one backup per 24 hours automatically. A schedule is not required for this, but can be used to make additional scheduled backups!
New to Schedules? Check out this guide for a basic rundown of them!
Step 1: Log In to your Game Panel
To get started, login to the SimpleGameHosting panel and select your server.
Step 2: Navigate to the Schedules Tab and Create a Schedule
The time of your backups is solely up to you, though I recommend around 12 hours to make 2 backups per day. You can also set up the schedule to make a backup at a certain time of day instead. The setup for a backup every 12 hours is shown below:
Press Create Schedule. You can then click on your new schedule to modify the tasks within. In this case, press the "New Task" button.
You'll be met with the task creation screen. For backups, click the action dropdown, then select "Create Backup", then click Create Task.
Once done, your server will now make a backup of itself every time the allotted time has passed, or at the time of day you selected! You can find the backups within the backups tab!
