The Problem: Too Many Backups
Project Zomboid's automatic backup feature can prevent the server from starting, even if you have disk space remaining. This happens because the in-game backup system has its own limit.
Option 1: Disable Automatic Backups
- Go to the Files tab in your panel
- Navigate to
/home/container/.cache/Server/ - Edit server.ini
- Find
BackupsOnStart=true - Change it to
BackupsOnStart=false - Save and restart the server
Option 2: Delete Old Backups
- Navigate to
/home/container/.cache/backups/startup/ - Delete some of the older backup files
- Restart the server
