If you own a Private Region, you can back up your Region's terraformed terrain to a texture file on your computer. Subsequently, you can use that saved file to restore your Region's terrain to its saved shape. This can be a great "safety net" if you experience a terraforming accident, and it is also useful if you want to apply the same terrain to multiple Regions you own.
 
To access the terrain backup and restore controls, choose '''World''' > '''Region/Estate''' in the Second Life Viewer®, and click the '''Terrain''' tab. Then:
 
==To backup your terrain:==
 
# Click '''Download RAW terrain'''.
# A file browser dialog appears. Choose a location to save to, give your terrain file a specific name so it's easier to find. For example, you could give it the name of your Region.
# Click '''Save'''.
# Next, you see: "Terrain file written, starting download…". It disappears in a few seconds, but the download process may take several minutes. Do not leave the Region and don't make any other terraforming changes until the download completes!
# When the download completes, you see: "Finished download of raw terrain file…" and the directory it was saved to.
# Click '''Close'''.
 
==To restore your terrain:==
 
# Click '''Upload RAW terrain'''.
# Select a .raw terrain file on your hard drive that you or someone else saved earlier.
# Click '''Open''' (or '''Choose''' on Mac).
# You see: "Upload started. It may take up to two minutes, depending on your connection speed."
# When the upload is complete, you see: "Terrain upload done". The terrain changes to the contents of the raw file.
 
If you'd rather not terraform the Region yourself, there are [http://xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&CategoryID=121 numerous terrains for sale on Xstreet in the Landscaping category]. Search for "raw" and other keywords to refine your results. You can upload these as described above to get great results fast.
