How To Restore Automatic Hytale Server Backups

Learn how to restore automatic backups on your Hytale server.

By the GhostCap teamUpdated

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. Open Files.
  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.
