Step 2: Open the File Manager
Once logged in, navigate to your File Manager and locate your Terraria server folder. Open this folder.
Step 3: Locate the Worlds folder
Inside the Terraria folder, open the Worlds folder. Look for a file ending with .wld — this is your Terraria world file.
Step 4: Download the world file
Right-click the .wld file and select Download. This will save a copy of your world to your local machine. Keep this backup in a safe location.

Navigate to your Terraria server folder in the File Manager.
Step 4: Locate and delete the current world file

Step 5: Upload your backup
Click the Upload button at the top of the screen, then select Choose File.
Step 6: Select your backup file
Locate the .wld backup file from your local machine and upload it to the Worlds folder.
Step 7: Restart your server
Once the upload is complete, return to your control panel and start your server. Your uploaded backup will now load as your active world.
Congratulations! You have successfully backed up and restored your Terraria server world.
