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.

SPIGOT/PAPER NOTICE:

There's a known issue with the end / nether being backed up when server software or plugin combinations move those dimensions out of the main world directory.

Whilst I do not understand this practice - it's commonplace and as such, a fix is in the works to ensure these get backed up.

For now, you may wish to consider an alternative solution for backups.

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.
