# Create server backups
When running a server, it's really important to take frequent backups to avoid data loss. We give you plenty of backup storage so that you can keep your server data safe.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you don't have enough backup storage to create a full backup, we recommend [using SFTP](/knowledgebase/game-panel/use-sftp-with-filezilla.md) to manually download files, or alternatively upgrading your backup storage limit.
{% endhint %}
To get started, head over to the [Game Panel ](https://game.lodestone.host)and select "Backups" on the sidebar menu.
Click "Create" to begin the backup process.
You'll now need to name the backup and click "Submit" once done. Please note that this will stop the server if it's running, and you won't be able to access files while the backup is being created.
Once done, you'll be able to delete, restore, or download your backup.
{% hint style="danger" %}
We recommend **taking frequent backups** to make sure you're covered in the unlikely event of data loss.
{% endhint %}
