Set up automatic backups for your Minecraft server

We've made it super easy to set up automatic backups for your Minecraft server to ensure peace of mind.

Head to our game panel at panel.lilypad.gg and select your server.

Select the Schedules button in the sidebar, then press the Create Schedule button.

Set the name of the schedule to something like "Daily backup" then select the Every day at 06:00 UTC button. This will pre-fill the values below with the ones required to restart your server at 6AM UTC each day. You can change the number in the Hour field to a different time if you wish, like 0 if you wish to restart every day at midnight, in the time zone your server is set to.

You can now set a custom time zone for your server which will change the times displayed in the Console and when Schedules are run — just go to the Settings tab and click the dropdown at the bottom to select one


Press Create Schedule at the bottom, then select the schedule you just created followed by the New Task button.

Click on the Action dropdown and select Create backup, then finally the Create Task button.


Your daily backup is now set up! You can find backups that are generated via the Backups section of your panel.
