What it does

When on, the server keeps rolling backups of the world, which lets you roll back after griefing or save corruption. It adds disk writes, so turn it off only if disk space or load is a real problem.

The game's own description: Enable world backups. Enabling this increases disk load.

Good to know

Edit PalWorldSettings.ini while the server is stopped; changes apply after a restart.
Backups kept: 5 every 30 seconds, 6 every 10 minutes, 12 every hour, 7 every day.

Run it on your server

Admin commands are typed in game chat after /AdminPassword, or from the console on the server page. Settings go in world settings and apply at the next start. New to this? Start a Palworld server first.
