Automatic pull is a key feature for Discord server owners because servers can sometimes be deleted, raided, or nuked. With this feature, VaultCord will automatically move your members to a backup Discord server if your main server is deleted or compromised. This means:
  • You won’t lose your members permanently.
  • You can keep communicating with your community right away.
  • Recovery happens on its own, so you don’t have to do anything manually.

​
How Automatic Pull works

If VaultCord notices your server has been deleted or compromised:
  1. It quickly activates your backup server.
  2. It starts pulling your members automatically.
  3. Your community can keep going in the backup server.
You don’t need to send out invites or announce a new server yourself.

​
Open the Automatic Pull settings

  1. Go to https://dash.vaultcord.com/servers.
  2. Click on Settings for the server you want to protect.
  3. Click Extra.
Automatic Pull Tab
  1. In the Automatic Pull section, click Create New.

​
Step 1: Choose the VaultCord server

Under Select VaultCord Server, pick the server whose members you want to protect. This is your main server, the one at risk.

​
Step 2: Choose the backup Discord server

Under Select Discord Server to Pull Into, pick the server where members should go if your main server is deleted.
[!IMPORTANT] If the bot doesn’t have invite permissions in the backup server, Automatic Pull won’t work.

​
Step 3: Turn on Automatic Pull

Click Enable. Automatic Pull is now active. If your main server is deleted or nuked, VaultCord will automatically start pulling members into the backup server.

Best practices for backup servers

To make sure recovery works well:
  • Keep your backup server private.
  • Don’t share the backup invite publicly.
  • Make sure to use our backup feature to clone your old server. Including channels, roles, messages, role assignments, etc. Click this link to create a backup today - https://dash.vaultcord.com/backups

Make your protection even stronger

Automatic Pull helps with recovery, but you should also take other steps to keep your bot secure. Check out VaultCord’s bot security guide: https://docs.vaultcord.com/misc/security
