Storage wipe

October 6, 2026|

DayZ, DayZ Experimental, Rust, and Rust Staging can schedule a storage wipe. Other titles do not show the control.

Open the server, then Settings, then Features, then Storage wipe.

Schedule

Use a one-time local date and time, or a recurring cron expression:

seconds minutes hours day-of-month month day-of-week

Before and after

WhenOptions
Before the wipeStop the server, create a backup
After the wipeStart the server, disable the schedule after it runs

DayZ wipe type

FullMap and player data
Player databasePlayer database only
PersistencePersistence only

Rust

Rust adds a fixed map seed and an option to update the seed when the wipe runs.

Run it now

The Maintenance tab can run the same saved configuration without waiting for the schedule. The button stays disabled until Storage wipe is enabled and a type, actions, and schedule are saved. The server must be stopped. See Server maintenance.
