Migrate game server
Learn how to migrate your old game server to a new game server with these simple steps.
Before starting it is important that both game servers are turned off, to avoid data loss.
You can find the FTP credentials for your DediConnect game servers on the Connect tab (Go to Game server settings -> Connect).
1. Download files from old game server
Log in on the old game server using FTP or RDP and download all:
- Save files
- Game config files *
- Plugin / mod setting files*
* = Skip these when migrating between DediConnect game servers or when the game server does not support it.
If you're not sure where to find the files, contact the hosting provider.
2. Upload save files to new game server
Connect with the new game server using FTP or RDP and upload the old save files to the save files directory on the new game server.
3. Add configs to the Config template
Skip this steps when migrating between DediConnect game servers.
Simply activate the existing Config template on the new game server to migrate the configs.
GSA uses Config templates to manage config files. Config templates let you manage the config files via the dashboard and automatically deploy them to the game servers.
