StarRupture: back up, download and restore your save

Where is the save?

In the Files tab under StarRupture/Saved/SaveGames/<server name>/. The folder name is the Server name from the startup variables. The save file is called AutoSave0.sav by default.

Saving happens automatically at the Save interval (default 300 seconds) – but only while at least one player is connected.

Create a backup

1. In the client area, open the Backups tab.
2. Click Create backup. It is safest to stop the server first.

With Schedules you create backups automatically, for example every night.

Download your save

1. Stop the server.
2. In the Files tab, open the folder StarRupture/Saved/SaveGames/<server name>/.
3. Download the .sav file (for several files, pack the folder as an archive first).

Restore an older state

1. Stop the server.
2. Restore the desired backup in the Backups tab. Alternatively, upload a saved .sav file into the save folder.
3. Start the server. The console must show "Spielstand gefunden – wird geladen" (save found – loading).
