Your server's own bot backs it up
Raids, mistakes and bad bots can undo years of setup in minutes. Back up channels, roles, settings and more, and bring them back section by section, without inviting another bot.

What's in a backup
Everything that makes your server yours. Some parts are optional, so you decide what each backup contains.
Always included
Server settings
Name, verification level, notification and filter settings, system and rules channels
Roles
Names, colors, permissions, icons and order
Channels and categories
Topics, slowmode, permissions, voice settings and forum tags
Images
Server icon, banner, invite background, emojis and stickers
Server setup
AutoMod rules, onboarding, welcome screen and scheduled events
Optional
Bans
Everyone who is banned, with the reason. On by default, so a restore never lets them back in
Member roles
Which member has which role
Messages
Recent messages of text and announcement channels, with embeds and pins
Open forum posts
The most recently active posts that are still open, with their messages
Restore only what you want
A restore never starts with a surprise. You choose what happens to every section, see the effect first and confirm.

Private by design
Backups can contain a lot about your community. We treat them that way.
Encrypted before it leaves your bot
Each backup is encrypted on your bot's host, before it is sent anywhere.
Add a password only you know
Password-protected backups can't be opened without it. We never store it, so we can't recover it either.
Owner and co-owners only
Restoring and exporting need the server owner or a co-owner, with two-factor authentication on their SCNX account.
Avoid posting sensitive data like card details or ID numbers in channels you back up.
What your plan unlocks
Manual backups work on every plan. Higher plans add automation and more of your server. Exact limits for your server are shown in the dashboard.

What your server needs
Backups run on your server's own bot, so a few things need to be in place.
If something is missing, the backups page in your dashboard tells you what to fix.
Backups may not be used to circumvent guild-deletions or community-violations issued by the Discord Trust & Safety Team. If we are suspecting such usage, we may disable your access and delete backups. We'll report violations to Discord. If you are suspecting abuse, please contact [email protected].
Don't rebuild from scratch
