Complete-world backup

Back up a Palworld save before an update, edit, or migration.

A useful backup contains the world and its matching player files, not just the biggest `.sav`. Copy the complete folder while the game or server is stopped, then verify the copy before relying on it.

01

Files that belong together

A standard world folder may include Level.sav, LevelMeta.sav, WorldOption.sav, LocalData.sav, and Players/*.sav. Server and version differences exist, so the safest backup unit is the complete WorldID folder.

02

How to make a clean backup

Exit Palworld or stop the dedicated server and wait for disk activity to settle. Copy the entire world folder to a dated location outside the active save tree. For Game Pass, copy the full WGS folder because the container names are not human-readable.

03

Test the restore path

A backup that has never been checked is only a hope. Verify file count, total size, hashes, and readable structure. For high-value servers, perform a restore drill in a separate environment and document how long recovery takes.

FAQ

Questions people ask before touching the save

Is Level.sav enough for a backup?

No. Player files and metadata can be required to preserve identity, ownership, guilds, and world options.

Does Palworld have automatic server backups?

Official server configuration includes `bIsUseBackupSaveData` and backup retention settings. Review the current official documentation and still keep an off-server copy.

Can Palworld Save Editor store my backup online?

No. This static release does not upload or host raw saves. It can inspect a local backup set and keep only receipt metadata in your browser.
