Minefort suggests making a backup of your Minecraft server to protect your data in case of server crashes, hardware failure, or other unexpected events when making changes to your Minecraft server. A backup will allow you to restore your server to a previous state, so you don't lose any important data or progress. Additionally, it also helps in case you want to move your server to a different host or location or want to rollback to an earlier version in case of any issues.


We’ve made backing up your server a breeze! In order to create a backup of your Minefort server, you will need to do the following:

  1. Log in to your Minefort account;
