Simple Backup
Simple backup
Works with 1.10.x and up
If you have any problems with the plugin not working leave a comment!
What can I use this for?
Simple Backup is a plugin to zip up your minecraft server worlds to a folder so you can:
- Let your users download them via file sharing websites such as mediafire
- Roll back your map
Commands:
- /sbackup - Force a backup of your world by running. Can only be ran by OPs or from the server console.
Providing error reports:
When pasting large amounts of text please use http:pastebin.com or http:dev.bukkit.org/paste/. They are completely free and makes it easier for me to read any error messages you provide.
Also provide your SimpleBackup config file and the version of the plugin you are using, when stating you have a problem, so I can see if that's the problem instead.
Configuring:

Rolling Back Maps:

Updates:
This plugin is generally updated when a significant change (new features or bugfixes) has been made to it. The plugin uses only a small number of very basic Bukkit API calls, so it most probably won't break on Bukkit updates. If it does break, we'll update it as soon as possible.
Want to help me out?
You can donate to Simple Backup if you love the plugin to bits and want to show me some support by clicking the donate button in the top right! Don't want to or can't donate?, then just leave a comment showing me support instead.
Thanks for any support you give me, and enjoy simple backup!

If you set start-time in the configuration, the plugin will try to sync with that time of day. This means backups will still be created at the appropriate times, even if the server is restarted. Just try not to restart it while the backup is running :)

Posted Mar 27, 2013I have a question.
I use rtoolkit which restarts my server every 6th hour.
What if i set the backup time to 12 hours. Would that result in the server never backupping because the backup time resets to 12 hours yet till next backup after each restart?

Nice spotting the spelling mistake, I have corrected it, regarding the backup-date-format,this is how a file would be named when a backup is completed.
For example, the default entry is 'yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss' which would create a file like 2013-03-26-12-12-12.zip in your backup folder, meaning the file was created on the 26th of the 3rd, 2013 at 12 hours, 12 minutes and 12 seconds, if you change this to be something like 'dd-MM-yyyy-HH-mm-ss' then the filename would become '26-03-2013-12-12-12.zip'
For more info on the formatting take a look at the java documentation.
I hope this helped to clear things up, if not let me know.

Posted Mar 25, 2013Also. I don't fully understand the, backup-date-format: yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss Are you suppose to set it to what year, Month, day, Hour, Minute, Second it is for the person setting it up?

re speed: What you describe sounds too good and is kind of suspicious. SimpleBackup uses very basic compression method that is not very optimized for speed. Please, open your backups and check if everything is backed up ok - at least check if all the files are there and if they are the proper size.
re 2 (reference time): There is an option for that:
re 1 (separate file per world): The first version of the plugin did exactly that, because some other plugins do it that way. I changed it, because I think single file makes more sense - it is easier to manage the files and it is easier to do a restore. Can you, please, describe why you need each world to be a different file? If there are valid reasons and there is enough demand for the feature, I may include it as an option.

Posted Mar 15, 2013First off, AWESOME PLUGIN!
We have about 5.5G backups that would take 45+ min and would lag the server with previous plugin. Yours did the same backup in about 6 minutes with no noticeable lag!
A few things that would really help though.
1) The ability to create separate zips for each world. 2) the ability to set a reference time for starting periodic backups
I run two backups/day - might increase that since this runs so fast - and would like them to run at 12 hour intervals starting at 2:00. So 2am and 2 pm. These times are designed to avoid peak use periods. Right now what I have to do is start the server at the correct start time.
thanks again for such a simple yet effective plugin!

You can already mark worlds you want backed up, just edit the 'backup-worlds' yml entry in the config file like so:
If this fails to work then let us know.

Posted Mar 8, 2013Great plugin! You should add the ability to mark certain worlds not to be backed up. We have some worlds loaded that we really never need backed up. Actually we have quite a few.

Unfortunately, currently, there are no plans to add this feature. If enough people request it, though, the plans might change :)

You are not the first one to report such behavior. Can you, please, describe the exact steps that led to this situation? For example is it something like: server is running; I edit the config; save the file; stop the server; start the server; open the config; my changes are missing? In the meantime I'll try to reproduce the issue myself. As a workaround, try editing the file while the server is stopped.

Posted Mar 3, 2013Whenever I try to change the config file, it just overwrites it the next time I start the server. How do I fix this?

I'll be benchmarking various settings and compression methods today, I'll put them in a nice spreadsheet and comment here. I'll also be using all the worlds on my server, there's 2 normal worlds, the PlotMe world I talked about, and a few flat worlds with a big build in the middle.
