Setting up the backup
From start to finish, in five steps.
Invite the bot to both servers
To the original and to the backup server, with the Administrator permission.
Drag the bot's role to the top
On the backup server: Server Settings → Roles → drag the bot's role to the top of the list. The bot can only manage roles and members below its own role.
Start the backup
On the backup server type: /backup <the original server's ID or invite link>
Or on the dashboard: choose the original (main) server, then where the backup should go, and click Start the backup.
Server ID: Discord settings → Advanced → Developer Mode, then right click the server → Copy Server ID.
Follow the progress
On the dashboard you see exactly how much of what was copied, and also when the full copy is done.
That's it!
From now on every new message, edit, deletion, role and permission change is copied automatically. If the bot restarts, it continues exactly where it stopped.
Tip: it works from the dashboard too
Sign in with Discord, choose the main server, then where the backup should go – it starts with one click, and you see its status and log there too.
Open the dashboard
