The days it saves the game

Nobody thinks about backups, until the day everyone does.

A plugin broke everything overnight

Restore the point from before the install: your server comes back exactly in the state it was in an hour earlier.

A grief while you were away

Go back to the point right before the griefers came through: builds are intact and your players lost nothing.

That big update feels risky

Create a snapshot right before you launch: if the modpack goes wrong, you roll back in one click, stress-free.

You take a few months off

Your expired server is archived automatically: when you come back, pick up the game exactly where you left it.

Separate infrastructure

Stored away from your game server: an incident on one does not reach the other.

Your data belongs to you

Download everything, anytime. Leaving? You leave with your data.

Invisible in game

Captured with no downtime and no noticeable lag: your players never notice.

Your questions about backups

Yes. SmartBackup™ is active on every MyBox, MyBoxPerf and MyBox Pro plan, with no option or extra cost, from the moment your server is created. Only free MyBoxFree servers do not include it.

Your entire server: the world, configurations, plugins or mods and player data. A restore puts the server back exactly in the state of the chosen point.

Every hour in our French locations, every 3 hours internationally. The rotation keeps 72 points: one per hour over the last 24 hours, then four per day, then two, then one per day up to 30 days.

From the Backups tab of your MineBoard panel: pick a point on the timeline, click Restore and follow the progress live. You can also ask StratorAI, the panel's AI assistant.

SmartBackup works on its own, continuously, with automatic rotation. A snapshot is your call: it is named, tied to your account and kept until you delete it. Before a risky change, create a snapshot, SmartBackup handles the rest.

Yes, at any time: every backup, snapshot or archive can be downloaded from the panel, including your database backups. Your data belongs to you.

You first get 14 days to renew or download everything. Then your server is archived automatically and kept for up to 10 years. You can restore the archive onto an active plan, even long after.

No. Captures are performed on the infrastructure side, without stopping your server and with no noticeable lag for your players. You never notice them.
