How automatic backups work
Automatic backups in TCAdmin protect your worlds/configs without manual effort. Configured in Scheduled Tasks at fpsdedicated.com.
Default Behavior
- Runs daily/hourly based on plan (check Settings > Scheduled Tasks).
- Compresses saves to /TCAdmin/Backups/[serviceid]/[date].zip.
- Retention: 7–30 days (auto-deletes oldest); configurable.
What's Backed Up
- World/save files (e.g., /save for Rust, /ShooterGame/Saved for ARK).
- Config files (server.cfg, bans.txt, etc.).
- Excludes: Logs, cache, temp files.
Customization
- Scheduled Tasks > New > Server Backup: Set frequency/retention.
- Pre-wipe backups: Chain backup → wipe → restart tasks.
Check Backups tab for archive list; download/restore anytime. Failures email admins.
