Advanced Backups

Advanced Backups

Advanced Backups is a powerful and configurable backup mod, complete with a command-line restoration tool.

Many Minecraft versions and modloaders are supported – request more if the one you want isn’t yet supported.

Features:

• Command-line restoration tool built into the jar, with helper scripts to run it
• Optional differential or incremental backups to reduce backup size whilst still retaining the same data
• Extensive config options to control schedules, logging, activity requirements and more
• Three different automatic purging options – full control over when a backup is deleted
• Command based “snapshots” that are immune to automatic purging
• Client-side toasts – get notified when backups happen. Can be disabled client or server-side, and restricted to ops or allowed for all players
• Set a minimum or maximum time between backups – avoid common problem scenarios for local worlds

FAQ:

• How do the client toasts work with Spigot servers?

• A client needs the Forge, Neoforge or Fabric version of the mod to see the toasts. This works even on Spigot servers.
• Will a backup be made if nobody has been online since the last backup?
• By default, no. This can be changed in config if need be.
• Can the mod run server-side only?
• Yes, the mod can work entirely on the server – a client-side installation is only required to see backup toasts.
• How do I run the command-line tool?
• There’s scripts provided in your backup folder, or you can use java -jar to run it. Java is required on your PATH.
• See the readme in your backup folder for more information.
