Server Maintenance

This is the Miscellaneous page in the navigation — a few whole-server operations that don't belong to any one feature. Some are routine, one section can wipe your permission setup, so it's worth knowing what each does. Starting, stopping and creating virtual servers, and the instance-wide and per-server settings, are on Virtual Servers and Instance.

Global message

Send a message to everyone on the virtual server at once — the server-wide announcement, not a channel or private message. Type it and send; there's nothing to undo, so it's a one-shot broadcast.

Identity

Sets the nickname the manager's own query connection shows under on the server. It's cosmetic — it changes how this app appears in the client list and the server log, not what it can do. Give it a recognisable name so admin actions in the log are obviously "the manager" and not a mystery client. (This is separate from a bot flow's Bot Identity, which is a distinct login.)

Snapshots

A snapshot is TeamSpeak's own full export of a virtual server — channels, groups, permissions, the lot — as a single file.

Create produces the snapshot and downloads it to your machine as a dated .json file. Keep it somewhere safe; this is a genuine backup of the server's structure.
Restore takes a snapshot file back and deploys it onto the selected virtual server.

Restoring is a heavy operation that reshapes the target server to match the file — do it onto the server you mean to, and ideally take a fresh snapshot of the current state first so you can get back. Note this is the TeamSpeak server's structure; it is not the same as backing up this app's own data, which is the data/ volume covered in Deployment.

Danger Zone

Reset all permissions returns the virtual server's permissions to TeamSpeak's defaults. It asks for confirmation because it is exactly as destructive as it sounds — every custom permission you've set across every group and channel is gone. Take a snapshot first. There is no undo beyond restoring one.
