ARK Survival Evolved /// Map Backup vs Server Backup

Server Backup - Used to completely backup the server, the entire Saved directory and ArkApi (if you use ArkApi)

See here: https://pay.czechchillout.cz/index.php/knowledgebase/61/9-scheduled-tasks.html

Task scheduler limit: 120 minutes

Limit on back-ups: -14 days (older ones are deleted)

Map Backup - Used for a quick and easy backup of the currently set map (only the "aktunimapa.ark" file). Backups can be found in the "mapbackups" directory.

Task scheduler limit: 30 minutes

Limit on back-ups: -3 days (older ones are deleted)

You can then perform the restore using the following procedure:

  1. Shut down the Server
  2. Click on FileManager
  3. Click through the folder structure to ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks
  4. Find the saved map file "MapName.ark" and rename it, for example, to "MapName_damaged.ark"
  5. Then upload the "NameMaps.ark" file that you extracted on your PC from the downloaded backup.
  6. Start the server

UPDATE:

  1. Shut down the server
  2. Click on "Restore Map Backup" in the main menu
  3. In the drop-down menu, select backup
  4. Click on "Execute/Run"
  5. Start the server
