Introduction

This guide explains how to manage the save files on your Myth of Empires game server, including backing up your server saves and uploading your own save to your server.

Where your save files are stored

Your server's world and player data are stored in the Saved/SaveGames folder. The easiest way to access it is through the Savegames tab in your game server dashboard. There, you'll find a dedicated file manager that is limited to this folder, where you can view, upload, download, and manage save files.

You can also access the folder through the Files tab or via SFTP using a program such as WinSCP or FileZilla. You can find your SFTP credentials in the Files tab. For instructions on how to connect, see our SFTP access guide.

Important

Do not delete or modify the parent Saved folder. It contains your server's configuration and logs as well as your save files.

Backing up your save files

Downloading save files

Stop your server so all data is saved and nothing changes during the download. Then open the Savegames tab and download the folders and files in Saved/SaveGames to your PC. Always download the entire contents, as the world and player data belong together.

Automatic backups

We automatically back up your game server every day, including its save files and configuration. With the ZapX Pass, you can also create, restore, and download your own backups at any time in the Backups tab. With ZapX Pass Pro, you can even set up automatic backups on your own schedule. For more information, see our Backups guide.

Tip

ZapX Pass Plus gives you 1, Pro gives you 3, and Max gives you 5 custom backup slots per server. There’s also an account-wide storage limit for all backups of your services combined, daily backups included: 250 GB for Plus, 500 GB for Pro, and 1,000 GB for Max.

Uploading your own save file

Finding your local save file

If you've previously hosted a server on your PC, you can find its save files in the game's installation folder. Open Steam, right-click Myth of Empires, and select Browse local files under Manage. Then navigate to this path:

Code

WindowsPrivateServer/MOE/Saved/SaveGames/

You'll find your local server's save files in this folder.

Uploading a save file to your server

Stop your server from the Overview.
To be safe, back up your server's current save as described above.
Open the Savegames tab and upload the entire contents of your local SaveGames folder to the Saved/SaveGames folder on your server. Replace the existing files, and don't mix files from different saves.
In the Configuration tab, check under Startup parameters that the Map, Server ID, and Cluster ID fields match your save. If you used different values on your local server, enter those same values here.
Start your server again.

You've successfully added a save file to your game server.
