Would you like to back up your SCUM game server save, restore it, or transfer it to another server? The built-in Savegame Manager makes it easy. Here’s how to download and upload your savegame, and set up automatic backups.

Info

Before downloading your savegame, you should stop the server to make sure the current game state has been saved.

To download your savegame, use the Savegame Manager in the Savegames tab of your game server.

There, you’ll find your current savegame and can save it locally by clicking the green "Download" button.

Uploading & Activating a Savegame
