This is what you do if you need to restore a backup on your [Valheim server](https://www.gamehostbros.com/valheim-server-hosting/). This guide covers restoring world backups on your server and restoring local character backups. | ||
|
||
## World Backups | ||
|
||
Follow these steps to restore your world to one of Valheims automatic backups. | ||
|
||
<Steps> | ||
|
||
1. Access the [Game Host Bros Panel](https://panel.gamehostbros.com/) and `Stop` your server. | ||
2. Go to `Management > File Manager`. | ||
3. Navigate to `/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds_local`. | ||
4. Delete your current `Dedicated.db` and `Dedicated.fwl` files. | ||
5. Rename your backup_auto_xxxx .fwl and .db files to `Dedicated.fwl` and `Dedicated.db` respectively. | ||
6. Start your server. | ||
</Steps> | ||
|
||
:::note | ||
Dedicated.db and Dedicated.fwl are the default names of your world files. The files you restore to must be from the same backup. | ||
