Overview
Backups let you snapshot your server's emojis and restore them later. Use backups before making big changes, to transfer emojis between servers, or to recover from accidents.
Creating a Backup
- Go to Backups in your dashboard
- Click Create Backup
- Select the server to back up
- Choose your backup mode:
- Backup All - Captures every emoji on the server
- Select Emojis - Pick specific emojis to include
- Optionally give the backup a custom name
- Click Create
The backup summary shows total emoji count, static vs animated breakdown before you confirm.
Selecting Specific Emojis
When using Select mode:
- Browse emojis in a grid with search
- Filter by All, Static, or Animated
- Use Select All to grab everything in the current filter
- Individual click to toggle specific emojis
Backup Storage
Backups are stored securely in the cloud. Each backup saves:
- All emoji image data
- Emoji names
- Static/animated type
- Server premium tier at time of backup
Your plan determines how many backups you can create and how many per day.
Restoring a Backup
- Go to Backups
- Click on the backup you want to restore
- Click Restore
- Select the target server (defaults to the original server)
- Choose a restore mode:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Add Missing | Only adds emojis that don't already exist on the server |
| Sync to Backup | Deletes extra emojis first, then restores to match the backup exactly |
"Sync to Backup" will delete emojis on the target server that aren't in the backup. Use "Add Missing" if you want to keep existing emojis.
- Confirm and start the restore
Restore Progress
The restore runs through the operation queue:
- Real-time progress streaming shows each emoji being processed
- If using "Sync to Backup", the delete phase runs first
- Success, partial success, or failure status shown at completion
Converting Backups to Collections
Turn a backup into a reusable collection:
- Open a backup
- Click Convert to Collection
- The backup's emojis become a collection you can import from, use in rotations, or sync
This is useful when you want to reuse a backup's emotes across servers without restoring them directly.
Restoring to a Different Server
You can restore a backup to any server where your bot is present:
- Open the backup
- Click Restore
- Change the target server from the dropdown
- Choose your restore mode and confirm
This effectively copies emojis between servers. The emoji capacity of the target server still applies.
Best Practices
Before Big Changes
Always create a backup before:
- Running a rotation for the first time
- Syncing with "Remove Extra" enabled
- Bulk deleting emojis
- Changing server boost level
Regular Snapshots
- Back up weekly or monthly depending on how often your emojis change
- Name backups with dates for easy identification (e.g., "Monthly April 2026")
Use Collections for Long-Term Storage
If you want to keep emotes indefinitely, convert backups to collections. Collections are better for browsing and reusing emotes.
Troubleshooting
Restore Failed Partially
- Some emojis may fail due to Discord rate limits — they'll be retried
- Check if the target server has enough capacity
- Review the restore progress for specific error messages
"Backup limit reached"
Your plan limits the total number of backups. Delete old backups you no longer need, or upgrade your plan.
Backup Shows Wrong Emoji Count
Backups capture emojis at the moment they're created. If emojis were added or removed after the backup, the counts won't match the current server state.
