How To Restore Automatic Hytale Server Backups

Hytale automatically creates a backup of your Hytale server save files every 30 minutes. This means if there is a failed update or a bug, you're able to restore to a previous time, giving you access to saved data in case something goes wrong.

Restoring A Backup

1. Access the GhostCap Panel and Stop your Hytale server.
2. In the sidebar, go to File Manager.
3. Navigate to the backups folder and download the backup you want to restore (e.g. 2026-01-16_20-19-03.zip) and extract the backup on your PC.
4. Rename or delete the existing universe folder on your server.
5. Create a new empty universe folder on your server.
6. Access your server with SFTP and upload all the contents from your backup to the new universe folder.
7. Start your server.
