Backup & Recovery
NexaBot doesn't currently have a dedicated /backup or /export command.
This page covers what actually protects your configuration today, and what
to do if something looks wrong.
No export feature yet
There's no built-in way to export your full server configuration to a file right now. If this would be useful to you, it's worth requesting through NexaBot's support channels.
What's actually persistent
Your configuration — AutoMod settings, verification setup, reaction roles, anti-nuke thresholds, and so on — is stored server-side and tied to your Discord server's ID. It doesn't live in Discord itself, so it survives things like:
- Renaming your server
- Changing channel names (as long as the channel itself isn't deleted)
- NexaBot briefly going offline or restarting
What can break your configuration
A few things do affect stored settings, since they're tied to specific IDs rather than names:
- Deleting a channel that's set as your mod-log, verification log, or similar — you'll need to reassign it to a new channel afterward
- Deleting a role used for verification, level rewards, or reaction roles — same as above, it'll need to be reassigned
- Removing NexaBot from the server — depending on how long it's been gone, configuration tied to that server may be cleaned up over time
Before restructuring channels or roles
If you're about to do a big cleanup — deleting old channels, restructuring roles — check the Nexa Dashboard first to see what's currently pointed at what, so you're not surprised by a broken mod-log or verification flow afterward.
If something looks wrong
- Re-run
/setupverify setif verification seems to be misconfigured after a role or channel change - Check the Nexa Dashboard for a full view of current settings rather than trying to recall them from memory
- Re-run the setup wizard if the essentials (mod-log, verification, AutoMod sensitivity) need to be reset — it won't erase case history or reaction roles
Case history isn't affected by any of this
Moderation case history is stored independently of channel and role configuration, so warnings, bans, and kicks logged in the past remain intact even if you restructure channels or roles afterward.
