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!

No permissions are implemented, because you still need an admin to restore a backup, so it makes sense that the same people can create a backup. But I see your point. I looked at the pull request and it seems fine to me, so maybe @exolius will merge it.

Why no permissions? I have no idea about permissions and if the 3 month old pull request you have really works, but it looks reasonably easy - only a commit away.
@clovisdelmotte: you could try the fork from blha303 (https://github.com/blha303/SimpleBackup) and report if it is working. If you cannot build yourself, I can help.

SimpleBackup issues save-all command before each backup. It does not specifically unload chunks. If you enable auto-save in your server configuration, you won't need periodical save-all command.

Posted Apr 11, 2013I have read that your plugin does not effect chunkloading as "MineBackup" does because of using the World.undloadChunk() event when saving a world, on an older post.
Is that still right?
Request:
Could you add the vanilla "save-all" command to be performed at an definable interval? I would like to switch to you plugin, but do not want to install a second plugin just for automatic save-all .

Currently we have no plans of adding permissions, sorry. This may change if enough people request this feature.

Posted Apr 8, 2013Cool tool! Would be nice if the config file had a specific example of backup of specific worlds. I notice from comments we need backup-worlds: - (world name). I forgot the - and spent a good number of minutes looking through comments. While it might seem silly since its yml anyways it would be an easy update to the config file I think.

Posted Apr 8, 2013Does this plugin do the backups asynchronously? (without pausing the entire server)

Posted Apr 7, 2013Maybe, could you add prems so that non-ops can also create a backup?

The backup is a zip file that contains all the worlds files. Stop the server. Make a copy of your server folder in case something goes wrong. Extract the zip in your server folder, overwriting the files there. Then start and check the server. If everything is ok, you can delete the copy of the server folder you made. If not, you can restore the server folder from the copy and ask someone for help.

Yes, you can setup backup-folders and backup-worlds like this, and it will do what you expect.
With this delete schedule, you will have 4 six-hour backups (1d worth of backups at 6h) + 7 daily backups (1w worth of backups of 1d) + 4 weekly backups (4w worth of backups of 1w). The confusing part is that backup-interval-hours is actually the first interval frequency, 1d is the second interval frequency etc., while interval 1d is the first interval, 1w is the second, etc.

Posted Apr 3, 2013I have lines missing in my config. Can I just copy them from your samle?
I would like to set this up to just backup the plugins folder as rollbacks don't happen like they used to.. In fact I would only like to backup the folders that are always being written to such as McMMO, essentials and worldguard ect ect.
Would this work? How many spaces to the folder to be backed up? Are the world set up the same way?
If I use this it will back up every 6 hours and keep one per day. Then keep one per week and delete them after 4 weeks? so in a month I should have 7 one day olds, and 3 one week olds? leaving a total of 10 backups?

I am sorry, currently, we have no plans to add exclude lists. As a workaround, please, configure the location of the dynmap folder to be outside of the plugins folder.

Posted Mar 31, 2013Could you probably add the option to backup everything in a folder but without the folder dynmap for example? That would be much easier than adding every content in this folder to the config.
