To bring a world from another host, upload its files on the server's Files page and set World Name to its name.
Questions
Where is the Valheim world saved?
In the worlds_local folder of the server's save data. The Files page shows it, and you can download it there.
Should I back up before a Valheim update?
Yes. An automation can back up the server before every update, so a world is never updated without a copy.
