Rent now your own prepaid ARK: Survival Evolved Server at nitrado.net

Backup Types

Here we will learn how to restore a backup of your Nitrado.net game server. Our servers will automatically create a backup for your game. There are three different types of backups, below I will list these backups.

This is how the backups page looks. As you may notice there are three different types:

Backup Type	Description
Game Internal backups	Game internal backups are made throughout the day. These backups simply contain the savegame. Making it easy to roll your save game back a few hours rather than a whole day.
Server Backups	Server backups are daily incremental backups of your server made once per day. These backups will restore the entire server back to a specific point. Including the configurations.
Database Backups	These backups are self titled. They are simply backup the database for your server. (Useful for games like Arma and CS:GO)

Troubleshooting Tips
