Back Up Server


Recommended Posts

I really like what my friends and I have built on my server but we were considering starting a new or trying some different maps/mods etc. However we would really like to save what we have built. Is there a way to save a back up of the server on my personal hard drive for future use, even if that use is only single player?

Of course!

  1. Stop your server
  2. Log into FTP using an FTP client (here's a quick guide on how to use FTP)
  3. Transfer all of the *.arktribe, *.arkprofile, and the MapName.ark file (if it's TheIsland you would take TheIsland.ark only, not the other backup files generated) from ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArkXXXX/ folder (where XXXX = your game server ID) to a local backup on your PC
  4. Switch maps, etc

Another option would be to take note of the time and remember that you can roll back to that w/ the backup restore tool from the control panel.
