Sculk Hosting automatically backs up your server on a regular schedule so you always have a recent snapshot to fall back on. If something goes wrong — a bad plugin install, an accidental deletion, or a corrupted world — you can restore any snapshot with a single click from the panel and your server restarts automatically with that data in place.

​
What backups do

  • Run automatically in the background on a schedule, without any action required from you
  • Capture a point-in-time snapshot of your server files and world data
  • Let you restore any saved snapshot with one click — no manual file handling needed
  • Allow you to roll back to any previous state instantly if something breaks

​
Accessing backups

1

Log in to the panel

Go to panel.sculkhosting.com and sign in with your Sculk Hosting account credentials.
2

Select your server

Click on the server you want to manage.
3

Open the Backups tab

In the server sidebar, click Backups. You’ll see a list of all available snapshots with timestamps.

​
Creating a manual backup

You can create a backup at any time — not just on the automatic schedule. This is especially useful before making configuration changes or installing new plugins.
1

Go to the Backups tab

Open the Backups tab in your server’s sidebar.
2

Click Create Backup

Click the Create Backup button in the top-right corner of the backups page.
3

Name your backup (optional)

Enter a descriptive name for the backup — for example, before-plugin-install — so you can identify it later. This step is optional; the panel will generate a name from the timestamp if you leave it blank.
4

Wait for completion

The panel runs the backup in the background. A status indicator shows when it’s in progress and when it has completed successfully.
Create a manual backup before installing new plugins, updating mods, or making major changes to your server configuration. Automatic backups run on a schedule, but a manual snapshot gives you a precise restore point tied to a specific moment.

​
Restoring from a backup

1

Go to the Backups tab

Open the Backups tab and review the list of available snapshots.
2

Find the snapshot you want

Locate the backup by its name or timestamp. Manual backups you named will be easy to identify; automatic backups are labeled with their creation time.
3

Click Restore

Click the Restore button next to the snapshot you want to roll back to.
4

Confirm the restore

A confirmation prompt will appear. Confirm, and the panel will restore that snapshot and restart your server automatically with the recovered data.

​
Automatic scheduled backups

Sculk Hosting runs backups automatically on a recurring schedule in the background. You don’t need to configure or trigger them — they run silently and appear in your backups list as they complete. The automatic backup schedule ensures you always have a recent recovery point even if you forget to create a manual one.
Panel backups are a convenience feature, not a substitute for your own off-site copies. For critical world data, download a copy to your own storage regularly. Sculk Hosting’s Terms of Service describe the scope of backup retention and liability — review them to understand what is and isn’t covered.
