Backups

Secure your server's structure by creating and restoring complete backups of it.

What is the backup module?

The Backups module creates a complete copy of your server's structure, so you can restore it later in case of a mistake or a redesign.

A backup includes:

  • The server's general information
  • The categories and channels (text and voice)
  • The server roles
  • The members' roles

To work properly, DraftBot has to sit right at the top of the role hierarchy and have the Administrator permission.

Creating a backup

The /backup create command creates a backup.

The name option is available for setting a custom name to identify the backup.

Backup names cannot exceed 30 characters.

Warning: when you request a restoration of your server, you must have disabled your server's community option first, if that is not already the case.
