FiveM Backup Routine on Pterodactyl (Resources + DB)

What to back up before major resource updates: resources, server.cfg secrets, and MySQL dumps.

Backup set

  • resources/ (or your resources path)
  • server.cfg / server.cfg secrets
  • txData/ as applicable
  • MySQL/MariaDB dump for the framework database

Use Pterodactyl backups + an off-panel database dump before major updates.



Frequently Asked Questions

DB too?

Yes for QBCore/Qbox/ESX — dump MySQL before framework updates.

txData?

Include txAdmin data if you rely on its settings.

Secrets?

server.cfg contains keys — store backups privately.
