Server Backup
Back up roles and channels and restore them later, plus a template marketplace.
In the panel under: Tools, Server Backup
Backs up the structure of your server: roles, categories, channels and server settings. If something goes wrong, you restore them.
Creating a backup
Enable the module, click to create a backup, done. You can rename and delete backups. There are also automatic backups that save by themselves at fixed intervals.
Free and Premium
| Free | Premium | |
|---|---|---|
| Saved backups | 1 | 5 |
| Waiting time between backups | 7 days | 12 hours |
If the waiting time is still running, the panel tells you when the next one is possible.
Restoring
What happens:
- Roles and channels from the backup are created anew
- Existing roles and channels are kept
- Members do not get their roles back automatically
- Restored channels are empty, the message history is gone
The process runs in nine phases, and you see the progress live: preparing, deleting channels, deleting roles, restoring @everyone permissions, restoring roles, setting role positions, restoring categories, restoring channels, restoring server settings.
Skip dangerous roles
An option in the restore dialog. Roles with Administrator, Manage Server, Ban Members and similar permissions are then created without those permissions.
A restart does not cancel anything
If the bot restarts in the middle of a restore, the restore continues automatically. This is safe because every pass checks the current state instead of working through a list calculated in advance.
Because the restore comes from the panel and there is no Discord interaction there to reply to, you get the result as a DM.
Marketplace
In the Backup Marketplace tab you find server templates from other servers, sorted by category: Gaming, Community, Business, Roleplay, Education, Other. You can publish your own templates with a name, description and category.
Required permissions
Administrator is recommended. The restore has to create, delete and sort roles and channels and change server settings.
