- Go to the link, login, hit the buttons
- Copy the code

Commands
| Command | Description | Permission | |
|---|---|---|---|
| /BackupLikeMe | Won't do anything on its own besides telling you to add arguments | backuplikeme.use | |
| /BackupLikeMe Dropbox | Dropbox authentication | only usable from Console | |
| /BackupLikeMe start | Start creating a backup, this will run on a different thread so the server isn't that much affected by it. | backuplikeme.use |
Starting a backup will freeze the server for a couple seconds! This is the creation of the zip file.

The issue is, I don't know where to look for the zip... Simplebackup at least lets me know what folder it is currently backing up.

It takes time, especially on bigger servers. There is no way to determine the progress while zipping. Uploading, maybe.
Create a ticket for it will explanation on how it works.

Posted Apr 25, 2015There needs to be a way to report progress on the backup - I don't see any backup on my server or in dropbox...

It is for the plugin itself.
It is to determine if it is time for a new timed backup already.

Try and find out, I don't do anything version specific with this plugin, I actually barely touch Bukkit with this.

Posted Apr 5, 2015This is pretty cool, and straight forward,
Wish the "timed backups" feature was added soon.

It can take a long time to upload / compress everything. Especially with a big server.

Posted Feb 15, 2015I made few tickets. Just saying. Having a quad core and it just uses the same core as the MC server itself. On the other note, I really love this plugin so I really hope it's getting fixed :)

Follow that and you should be done. Unless you did it with the old version, then you can copy that file over.

Will do that when I have time, on my todo list already.
Shouldn't take super long though, already able to upload with ftp with java outside of Bukkit.
