# Changing the Autosave Interval on your Rust Server

Information on how to change the Autosave Interval on your Rust Server

Rust servers include an automatic save system that records player and world progress at set intervals. Choosing an appropriate autosave timing helps reduce potential data loss caused by crashes or connectivity problems. However, setting the interval too short can create excessive save files and consume storage space quickly.

## How to Adjust the Autosave Interval on a Rust Server

1.  Log in to the **ChipHead Panel**.
