# How to Change Your Hytale Server Backup Frequency

Learn how to change the backup frequency on your Hytale Server! 

In this guide we are going to change how often your Hytale server backups. By default, the server will create a backup every 30 minutes.

## Changing the Frequency

1. Open your [Dashboard](https://app.nodecraft.com/dashboard).
2. Locate your Hytale server and click on the **Panel **button.
3. Once on your panel, **Stop** the server using the button in the upper left corner of the panel before proceeding.
4. When the server is stopped, click on **Game Settings** on the left-hand sidebar of the panel.

6. Enter or use the +/- buttons to set a new desired backup frequency in minutes, then scroll down and click the **Submit** button.

You have now changed how often your server will create a backup. It’s important to note that these backups are saved to a folder and do count for the disk usage of your server.

## Conclusion

You now have your server creating backups at your desired interval. It's worth noting that making a backup could cause a small dip in performance while it's being created, thus quicker intervals may lead to undesirable performance more frequently.
