Palword dedicated servers can be uploaded from either co-op or other dedicated servers. While this typically results in losing some player data on Windows servers, migrating from dedicated servers using Linux is much less risky. It can be done with minimal risk of losing any data. The community has found ways to help Windows dedicated servers transfer their saves without losing the player data by directly editing the files themselves.
Note: Transferring a save to a dedicated server May Result in Lost Progress!
Note: Make any backups locally to preserve server data.
