Hytale Server Backup Script Generator

Backup script and schedule for your Hytale world, with optional encrypted off-site copy.

Your world is the one thing on the server you can't redownload. Set your options and get a backup script plus the schedule, ready to copy. Based on our world backup guide.

What gets backed up: the universe/ folder (worlds and player data) plus config.json, permissions.json, whitelist.json, bans.json and mods/. That's everything you need to restore the server.

Server folder Where HytaleServer.jar and universe/ are. Backup folder Local archives. Use a different disk if you can.

Daily at (hour) Pick the quietest hour on your server. Keep local archives (days)

Consistency Copying a world mid-write can give you a broken archive. systemd service name Only used when stopping the server.

Off-site copy A backup on the same disk dies with the disk. restic repository e.g. s3:s3.example.com/bucket or sftp:user@host:/hytale-backups
