# How Do I Restore a Server Backup?

Information on server backup

### Restoring a Server Backup

If your Minecraft server experiences issues that cause data loss or players to lose progress, backups can save the day. Restoring from a backup lets you get back to a recent state instead of starting over.

Not familiar with backups? Check out our guides:

-   [How to Automatically Back Up Your Server](https://help.chiphead.tech/en/articles/78-how-to-automatically-backup-your-chiphead-server.md)
    

> **Info:** Important: Before restoring, make a backup of your current files. Even if some files are corrupted, others might still be usable and worth saving.
