I saved the server on my desktop. Where will the directory be? - user14851 Nov 20, 2011, at 8:22



Do you know if it is possible to run the saveoff and save-on commands using a batch job? - mpontillo Apr 26, 2012 at 14:53



@Mike You can also look into plugins for backups such as Bukkit Backup or other Bukkit backup plug-ins. I also recommend mcrcon because it allows you to run commands remotely. - Schism Sep 8, 2012 at 19:23



The world folder should be located within the directory where the server is running. There should be a world folder that contains all the files your server requires to run. The world folder's region folder contains all of the "block info", and is the most important to backup. The players folder is another folder in the world directory. minecraft servers list It contains information about players who connect (inventories etc). (Note: The directory is named world only if the level-name property in server.properties has not been changed.



This information is true of a Vanilla and a Bukkit multiplayer server.



TL;DR: Backup the entire directory.
