Backups

We automatically back up your TeamSpeak server every day, keeping your channel structure, server groups, permissions, and settings safe without you having to think about it. With ZapX Pass, you also get full control in the Backups section of your TeamSpeak server: create, restore, and import your own backups (snapshots) with a single click. With ZapX Pass Pro, you can even automate backups on your own schedule.

Create a backup

Click Create backup to create a snapshot of your current server (channel structure, server groups, permissions, settings, and channel files). Your server must be running. The backup will then appear in your list of available backups. The number of backups you can store at the same time depends on your ZapX Pass: Plus lets you store 1, Pro 3, and Max 5. If you reach the limit, delete existing backups using the trash button in the list to make room for a new one. 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. If needed, you can purchase additional backup storage on the ZapX Pass page.

Restore a backup

Select an existing backup from the list and restore it to revert your server to that state. Your server must also be running for this.

Import a snapshot

If you already have your own TeamSpeak snapshot file (for example, from another provider or an earlier backup), you can use Import snapshot to upload it as a backup to your TeamSpeak server and restore it later. The uploaded file must not exceed 5 MB.

Automatic backups on a schedule

With ZapX Pass Pro or ZapX Pass Max, you can also back up your TeamSpeak server at times you choose. To do so, create a new schedule under Schedules and select the Backup action. These backups share slots with your manual backups. If all slots are occupied, the schedule replaces its oldest scheduled backup; it never deletes manual backups. Our daily backup does not use a slot.

Turn off the daily backup

The daily backup counts toward the storage limit of your account. With a ZapX Pass that includes TeamSpeak backups, you can turn it off in the Daily backup row of the Backups section. The existing daily backup is deleted immediately, and your own backups remain. You can turn it back on at any time. Without a ZapX Pass that includes backups, the daily backup is always on.
