Overview
Backups save a point-in-time copy of a server’s emojis. Use them before large imports, rotations, syncs, or cleanup work. You can restore a backup to the original server, copy it to another server, or convert it into a collection.Create a backup
- Go to Backups.
- Choose Create Backup.
- Select the server.
- Choose what to include:
- Backup All for every custom emoji
- Select Emojis for a specific set
- Add an optional name.
- Confirm the backup.
The confirmation screen shows the total count and static versus animated breakdown before you start.
What a backup includes
A backup includes the emoji images, names, type, role restrictions when available, and the server boost level at the time the backup was created. Your plan controls how many backups you can keep and how many you can create in a day.Restore a backup
- Open Backups.
- Select the backup.
- Choose Restore.
- Pick the target server.
- Choose a restore mode.
- Confirm the restore.
Restore to another server
You can restore a backup to any server Kao can manage. This is useful when you want to copy an emoji set to a new community. The target server still needs enough emoji capacity for the restored items.Convert a backup to a collection
Use Add to Collection when you want to reuse a backup without restoring it immediately. Collections are easier to browse, import from, rotate, and sync later.Best practices
- Create a backup before bulk deleting emojis.
- Create a backup before using Sync to Backup or full replacement rotations.
- Name backups with dates or event names.
- Delete backups you no longer need if you hit your plan limit.
- Convert long-term reusable sets into collections.
