Backups
Save a copy of your server's BabelBot settings and restore it later.
A backup is a copy of BabelBot's settings for your server. Restore a backup to go back to those settings, for example after a big change that did not work.
Go to DashboardSettingsBackups. You need Manage Server in Discord.
| Free | Pro, Ultra and Founder Access | |
|---|---|---|
| Backups kept | 1 | 5 |
| Automatic backup | No | Every week, if your settings changed |
| A new backup | Replaces the old one | Deletes the oldest one when 5 are kept |
On Free, automatic backups from an earlier paid plan stay. A new backup replaces only the backup you took yourself.
The backup that the next backup deletes shows Deleted by the next backup.
๐พ Take a backup
Name it
Type a name, for example "Before bridges". The name is optional. Without a name, the backup shows the time you took it.
Back up
Select Back up now. The backup shows at the top of the list.
โฉ๏ธ Restore a backup
Open the backup
Select Restore on the backup. The dialog shows each setting that changes, with its value now and after the restore.
Restore
Select Restore backup. BabelBot uses the restored settings in Discord right away. The restore shows in Audit logs.
A restore follows the same plan limits as any other change. A restore cannot increase the number of languages, bridges or custom words past your plan limit. It also cannot turn on a feature of a higher plan. Upgrade the plan or restore a different backup. If your server already has more items than your plan allows, a restore can keep that number. The items over the limit stay paused. See When a plan change pauses items.
If someone deleted a bridge channel in Discord after the backup, or the channel is now in a cross-server connection, the bridges that use that channel are not restored. The dialog tells you how many channels BabelBot cannot use.
