Backups and node changes

Backup slots

A new credit Discord bot server starts with no backup slots. Add backup slots from the Resource upgrades section. Each backup slot adds 1 credit to the server’s daily cost.

Create a backup

1. 1
   Open the Discord server management page and add at least one backup slot when needed.
2. 2
   Open the server in Pterodactyl.
3. 3
   Open Backups.
4. 4
   Create a new backup and give it a clear name.
5. 5
   Wait until the backup status is complete before downloading or restoring it.
6. 6
   Download an important backup to your own device before deleting the server.

Move to another node

1. 1
   Stop the bot and create a fresh backup or download all files with SFTP.
2. 2
   Record the current startup command, environment values, and main file name.
3. 3
   Return to the X Systems server management page.
4. 4
   Delete the old server. The page shows any approximate unused-runtime refund before confirmation.
5. 5
   Create a new server and choose the wanted available node.
6. 6
   Upload or restore the files and set startup manually in Pterodactyl.
7. 7
   Start the bot and verify the console.
