# How to Make a Backup and Download It on Your Bedrock Server

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/722e149280a39c0/6610bd54-d659-4433-a6d9-d15fcb_4xakt1.png)

Do you want to save your files safely and have a copy? Then it is recommended to always have a backup! This article will show you how to make one.

|| Note that we recommend you do a backup anytime before changing the server type!

Also, please note that autosaves are **not backups**, these overwrite the already saved files in the world folder so the server can keep up with your progress. So autosaves are not backups and you can not restore them.

||| We have a guide explaining the difference between autosaves and a backup [here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/whats-the-difference-between-an-autosave-and-a-backup-ww1jlw/).

|| Also, please note that on Bedrock servers, the world name needs to be made only from numbers and letters, otherwise the backup tool will not work properly.

|| NOTE: Your server will keep just the latest three backups.

Once this is done you’ll be able to see your backup in the `Restore` section in your Multicraft control panel or in your FTP File Access as well.

|| Note that the backups are saved as ZIP files in the folder called `bedrock-backups` from your root directory of the server.
