Quick Backup Multi Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I create my first backup?
Open the mod's backup menu (usually accessible from the pause screen or via a keybind), select an empty backup slot, and confirm to save your current world state. The backup will be stored locally and can be restored later without affecting your active world.
Can I backup a world that's currently being played?
Yes, you can create backups while playing, but it's safest to pause or exit to the menu first to ensure all data is written correctly and avoid potential corruption during the backup process.
What happens to my current world when I restore a backup?
Restoring a backup replaces your current world with the backed-up version from that slot, so any progress made after the backup was created will be lost. Always confirm the restore action, as this operation cannot be undone.
How many backup slots do I get and can I have more?
The mod provides multiple backup slots by default; check your mod configuration file to see the exact number and adjust the slot limit if your storage allows.
Can I rename or label my backup slots?
Most versions of the mod allow you to add notes or timestamps to backups to help identify them, though the exact labeling method depends on your mod version—check the backup menu for naming options.
Will backups work if my world crashes or corrupts?
Yes, that's the mod's main purpose—if your world crashes or becomes corrupted, you can restore from a recent backup slot to recover your progress. Create backups regularly before major building projects or risky activities.
Do backups include my inventory, structures, and mods changes?
Backups save the entire world state including terrain, structures, and inventory, but if you change your mod list between backup and restore, compatibility issues may occur.
How much disk space do backups take up?
Backup size depends on your world size and complexity; larger worlds with many structures and entities will create larger backup files, so ensure you have adequate storage before creating multiple backups.
Can I use this mod with other backup mods or tools?
Using multiple backup systems simultaneously can cause conflicts, so it's best to rely on this mod alone; however, you can manually copy backup files to external storage for extra security.
What should I do if a backup slot becomes corrupted or won't load?
Try restoring from a different, older backup slot if available, or delete the corrupted slot and create a fresh backup; if the issue persists, check your mod configuration and ensure your world files haven't been damaged by external factors.
