#A Valheim Dedicated Server auto update script for Windows (Powershell) #Place the config file and powershell script in C:\SteamCMD folder along with steamcmd.exe. #You need to download SteamCMD and install the server yourself to C:\Valheim. #If your paths differ, update the script and config file with your own paths.

#Backups are in testing, and not completely verified yet. #Backups will not be made unless BackupsEnabled:True in your config file. #BackupsFolder will be created if it doesn't exist. #BackupsDaysToKeep will create a lot of data over time if set to 7 days. #Consider that Valheim creates an automatic backup every 20 minutes, as well as manual "Save" commands from console, and every time "Stop-Valheim" is used. #If your world is 70MB, it will be 7 days * 24 hours * 3 backups per hour * 70 MB = 35GB

#Contents example of the config file:

Note that this is a JSON Formatted configuration file. Any directory paths need to have double \ instead of single . Every line must be separated by a , Except the last line. The file must start with { and end with }
