⛏️ 1. Restarting Your Server

Restarting helps apply configuration changes and clear temporary memory buildup. Restart your server if you:
  • ➡️ Installed or removed addons
  • ➡️ Switched maps or game modes
  • ➡️ Are experiencing lag from long uptime
✔️ To restart your server:
  • ➡️ Log into your panel
  • ➡️ Click the Restart button on the server dashboard
  • ✔️ Wait for the console to confirm that the server has fully booted

​
⏰ 2. How to Back Up Your Server (Before Resetting)

If you’re planning to reset or make major changes, it’s critical to create a backup first.
  • ➡️ Stop your server before creating a backup
  • ➡️ Go to the Management section in your panel
  • ➡️ Click Backups
  • ➡️ Click Create Backup and wait for the process to complete
✔️ This saves your current files (including addons, maps, configs, and more) so you can restore them later if needed. ❗ Backups are essential — resetting will permanently delete all server data.
