Conan Exiles Save Management & Backups

Conan Exiles Guide • Updated May 11, 2026

Backing Up Your World (game.db)

Conan Exiles stores everything in a SQLite database.

Save Location

The main file is located at:

/ConanSandbox/Saved/game.db

Manual Backup

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Copy game.db to a safe location.
  3. Restart server.

Restoring a Backup

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Rename your current game.db to game.db.old.
  3. Copy your backup file into the folder and rename it to game.db.
  4. Start server.

INI Persistence

Remember that game.db only stores world data (buildings, characters). Your settings are in /Config/ folder (ServerSettings.ini).

Need daily automated backups of game.db with one-click restore? Rent a Conan Exiles Enhanced server with Supercraft.
