Description
# 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.
