Every Schokr server comes with 3 snapshot slots. If you want to keep more snapshots, buy extra slots for 40 credits each, up to 30 slots per server. Schokr One members get unlimited snapshots.
What a snapshot slot is
A snapshot captures the state of your server so you can roll back to it later, for example before installing a big update or a new set of plugins. Each slot holds one snapshot. When all your slots are full, you need to delete an old snapshot or add a slot before taking a new one.
Price and limits
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| Included per server | 3 slots |
| Each extra slot | 40 credits (about $0.05) |
| Maximum per server | 30 slots |
| With Schokr One | Unlimited snapshots |
Filling a server up to the 30-slot maximum means buying 27 extra slots, which is 1,080 credits (about $1.44).
Steps
- Make sure your team has enough credits and your Discord account is linked.
- Sign in to the Schokr console and open the server.
- Go to the Snapshots section.
- Add a snapshot slot and confirm the purchase. Repeat for each slot you want.
How many slots do I need?
- 3 slots is enough for "before update", "after update" and one spare.
- 7 slots works well with automatic daily snapshots if you want about a week of daily restore points.
- More is useful for busy community servers where you might need to roll back further after griefing or a bad plugin.
Snapshots and backups
Schokr servers also have backups, which are limited in number per server. Snapshots are a separate feature with their own slots. Buying snapshot slots does not change your backup limit.
Things to know
- Slots are per server. Extra slots on one server do not apply to your other servers.
- Slots are a one-time purchase.
- If you need lots of snapshots across many servers, compare with Schokr One.
Still stuck?
If you bought a slot but cannot take a new snapshot, ask on the Schokr Discord.
