Before you begin

Use backups.manage and Manage Server for available operations. Restoration requires an administrator and the necessary bot permissions.

Step by step

  1. Create a backup before significant channel or role changes.

  2. Check its date, content and status in Backups.

  3. To restore, review the preview and proposed differences before confirming.

  4. After processing, check errors, permissions and recreated roles or channels.

A structure backup

This module covers supported structure and settings, not a complete copy of Discord. Deleted messages and previous role assignments should not be considered recoverable. Recreated elements may receive new IDs.

After restoration

Update channel and role selectors in affected modules. Republish panels when their previous channel or message no longer exists. Test access with an ordinary member account.
