# My Backups

> Every Server Backup you have created, across all of your servers — browse one, restore it into another server you manage, export it, or delete it.

**My Backups** is your personal view of every [Server Backup](/en/server-management/server-backup) you have created, gathered from all of your servers into one list. Find it under **Utilities → My Backups** in your user dashboard.

<Info>
  Available on **every plan**, including Starter. Viewing what you created is never gated.
</Info>

A server's own backup page shows that server's backups to everyone with dashboard access. This page shows **your** backups, wherever you made them — which is what you need when the server they came from is gone, or when you are setting up a new one.

## What the list shows

| Column      | Shows                                                                   |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Backup**  | The name, or *Untitled backup*. Channel backups also name their channel |
| **Server**  | The server it was taken from, with its icon                             |
| **Type**    | Manual · Automatic · Safety copy · Time Machine · Imported · Channel    |
| **Size**    | The stored snapshot size                                                |
| **Created** | When the capture finished                                               |

Filter by **server** or by **type** to narrow a long list.

## What you can do

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Open" icon="folder-open">
    Opens the backup in the [Snapshot Viewer](/en/server-management/server-backup#snapshot-viewer) — its channels, messages, roles, settings, bans and members, with stored files downloadable.

    <Note>
      Available while you are an administrator of the server the backup came from. The viewer lives on that server's dashboard.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Restore into…" icon="rotate-left">
    Pick any server you manage with Vetox, then continue through the ordinary restore dialog — plan, options, and the typed server-name confirmation.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Export" icon="file-export">
    Downloads the backup as a Discord-format `.json` file. Works on every plan.

    <Note>
      Exports carry the server, roles, channels, emojis and stickers. Messages, members and bans are not part of Discord's server format and are not included.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Delete" icon="trash">
    Deletes the backup and every file stored with it, permanently — on whichever server it lives. A backup you created is yours to delete.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Restoring into another server

This is the reason the page exists: move a server's layout to a new one, or rebuild a community somewhere else.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose Restore into…">
    A server picker lists every server you manage with Vetox. Search it if the list is long.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the plan">
    Vetox reads the destination server and tells you how many channels and roles will be deleted and created there.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what to restore">
    The same presets and switches as an ordinary restore — **Full replace**, **Additive** or **Structure only**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Type the destination server's name">
    Then the restore runs, with progress on the destination server's backup page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  **Only the person who created a backup can restore it into a different server.** Managing both servers is not enough — the backup has to be yours. This is what stops a backup ID leaking into someone else's server.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Channel and role references inside the backup are rebuilt for the destination, since its IDs are different. The restore dialog says so when it detects a cross-server restore.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Restoring into another server replaces **that** server's channels and roles. Its members are never kicked, but anything it has that the backup does not will be gone. Use the **Additive** preset to add the backup's channels and roles alongside what is already there.
</Warning>

## Safety copies

Backups of type **Safety copy** are taken automatically before a restore, so a restore you regret is itself reversible. They are kept for **7 days** and do not count against any limit.

<Tip>
  If a restore went the wrong way, look for the safety copy created moments before it. It holds the server exactly as it was.
</Tip>

## Privacy

Backups are the **server's** data, held on the server owner's behalf, and are encrypted at rest. Your name is attached to the ones you created so that you — and only you — can move them between your servers.

<Note>
  If you ask Vetox to delete your personal data, you are removed as the creator of every backup you made. The backups themselves belong to their servers and stay with them until an administrator deletes them.
</Note>

Full detail is in [Server Backup → Privacy and retention](/en/server-management/server-backup#privacy-and-retention).
