How to back up a Discord server, and restore it
Back up before big changes and on a schedule, so a mistake or a nuked server can be undone.
In BluFox, open Backups, create a backup with a name and switch on automatic backups (every 48 hours, the 10 newest are kept). To restore, pick a backup and tick what to bring back: roles, channels with permissions, settings. Existing roles and channels with the same name are kept and missing ones are recreated. Messages cannot be backed up on Discord.
Setup
Step by step
- 01
Add BluFox to your server
Open the invite link on blufox-studio.com and pick your server. BluFox asks only for the permissions its modules use, never Administrator.
- 02
Create a backup
Open Backups, press New backup and name it, for example "Before the redesign". Choose what to include.
- 03
Turn on automatic backups
BluFox makes one every 48 hours. Pin important ones so they are never rotated out.
- 04
Download a copy (optional)
Keep the file on your computer or upload it to another server.
- 05
Restore when needed
Pick the backup and tick what to restore. It runs in the background.
