These are the steps to manually roll back the World save data.
Step 1: Log into your game control panel and navigate to your server's control panel

Step 3: Click the File Manager icon and navigate to the worlds_local folder
Step 4: Look for your current world's main save file, by default this is savegame.db. If you changed the world name option in your command line, you would look for the main .db file with that worlds name.
Step 5: Rename the save file to something else (example: oldsavegame.db)
Step 6: Next, find a backup save that you want to roll back to. It would be labeled with the worlds name and have a timestamp in the file name. (example: savegame_backup_auto-20230422023443.db)
The Timestamp code is YearMonthDayTime
