+## Manually
+
+1. Copy the save from your old dedicated server to your new dedicated server.
+2. In the `PalServer\Pal\Saved\Config\LinuxServer\GameUserSettings.ini` file of the **new** server,
+   change the `DedicatedServerName` to match your save's folder name. For example,
+   if your save's folder name is `2E85FD38BAA792EB1D4C09386F3A3CDA`, the DedicatedServerName changes to
+   DedicatedServerName=`2E85FD38BAA792EB1D4C09386F3A3CDA`.
+3. Delete the entire new server save at `PalServer\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\0\<your_save_here>`,
+   and replace it with the folder from the old server.
+4. Restart the new server
