About Simple Backup

From Modrinth

Simple Backup utility for servers and singleplayer worlds

Description

Simple Backup utility for servers. Automatic backups at intervals, with configurable options such as compression to zip file, pausing auto backups if no players are online, etc.

See https://github.com/spoorn/SimpleBackup/blob/main/SUMMARY.md for technical details on the backup logic, compression, benchmarks, multi-threading, etc.

Features

Automatic backups at configurable intervals
Pausing backups if no players are online to save resources
Backups are done asynchronously to minimize impact on game performance during backups
Compressing backup to .zip or .tar.lz4 file
Configurations to limit number of backups to keep, and guards to ensure backups do not exceed the disk space
Manual backups can be triggered with command /simplebackup start, /simplebackup zip, /simplebackup lz4, /simplebackup directory
Manual backup permissions can be configured in the config
Backup is stored in the game directory under backup/ parallel to mods/ and config/ folders, or can be configured to any absolute path in the system
Backup file format is YYYY-MM-DD\_HH-MM-SS(.zip|.tar.lz4) (example: backup/2022-05-04\_05-04-13.zip for ZIP format, or backup/2022-05-04\_05-04-13/ for DIRECTORY format)
Message will be broadcast to players when backup is in progress. The message is configured in the config to allow for language translations and keep the mod completely server-side. The messages can be disabled
And yeah, the mod is only required on the server!

For help on choosing which backup format to use, see https://github.com/spoorn/SimpleBackup/blob/main/README.md

Config

You can tune all the features in the config file at config/simplebackup.json5. Check out the config documentation at https://github.com/spoorn/SimpleBackup/blob/main/config-documentation.json5 for more details

Note: the config file must be in UTF-8 format. For example, if you're using a special keyboard or text editor to type special characters for the broadcast messages, it must be encoded in UTF-8. If you aren't sure, you can put your special characters in a tool like https://checkserp.com/encode/unicode/, and use that in the config file, which will be able to be parsed correctly.
