Easy backups

🛡️ EasyBackups: Professional World Protection

EasyBackups is a robust, lightweight, and highly configurable backup utility designed specifically for Fabric server owners. It eliminates the need for external scripts or manual file management by providing a seamless, integrated solution for world preservation and emergency recovery directly from the game chat.

🌟 Why EasyBackups?

Managing server data shouldn’t be a chore. While other mods offer basic saving, EasyBackups provides a fail-safe environment with:

• Data Integrity: Automatically forces a full world save (server.saveEverything) before every backup to ensure no chunk is left behind.
• Resource Efficiency: Smart “skip if empty” logic prevents your disk from filling up with identical backups when no one is playing.
• Peace of Mind: A built-in recovery system that handles the heavy lifting of file replacement and server restarts for you.

✨ Key Features

• 📦 Industrial-Grade Compression: Uses the .tar.gz format (powered by Apache Commons Compress) for high-ratio compression, saving significant disk space.
• 🔄 Integrated Hot-Recovery: Roll back your world to any previous state with /backups recover. The mod manages the server halt, cleans the world directory, and restores the archive automatically.
• 🕒 Advanced Automation:
• Interval Mode: Schedule backups every X minutes.
• Schedule Mode: Set specific 24h timestamps (e.g., 00:00, 12:00) for daily maintenance.
• Hybrid Mode: Use both systems simultaneously for maximum redundancy.
• 💾 Intelligent Storage Management: Automatically rotates backups by deleting the oldest files once your custom limit is reached.
• 🌍 Global Accessibility: Fully localized with built-in support for 14 languages, including English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and more.
