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:

Click here for an explanation of how to configure this plugin.

Rolling Back Maps:

Click here for how to roll back your 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!

Source Code

The source code for this plugin can be found on Github here: SimpleBackup Git Repository

Thanks to Mantun for submitting my first pull request and consistent code changes and improvements! Github

I see now, you need to remove the worlds from 'backup-folders' list. When 'backup-worlds' is empty, all worlds are copied, so you don't need to list them. If you want to list them explicitly, please, do that in the 'backup-worlds' list.

There is an important difference between 'backup-worlds' and 'backup-folders' - worlds are saved and their auto-save is turned off before backup. This is needed to prevent corrupted backups. There is no similar technique for 'backup-folders', so use that feature if you are willing to accept the risk. See the description of 'backup-folders' in config.yml for more details about the risk.

Hope this helps, mantun

Here you go: http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/6575/

hmm.. even though i see double entries of the worlds mineworld, guestland and creative, mineworld is the only world that produces an error.

Thank you, ThisUsernameIsMine, this makes it much more clear. Can you, please, paste me the messages printed when the plugin is initialized? It says what exactly it is going to backup.

The level.dat entries of the worlds are all different (unique)

I wanted to upload the complete worlds but the zip is around 500 MB, so here are the .dat files instead ;-)

edit: This is what happens in the console

http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/6569/

As you can see it tries to backup mineworld twice.

This is really strange, I have no idea what might be causing it. Are the two entries identical? Can you upload both of them for me to examine?

No, it is not safe to backup the plugins folder at all. This feature is added because it was commonly requested. Use it at your own risk. For more information see the explanation in config.yml.

The plugin does perform save on each world before it is copied. Are you sure another plugin is not interfering with the save? I haven't been able to reproduce this behavior :(

@Arcami Hi,

For not-scheduled backup, see this comment: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/simplebackup/?comment=124

For exclude folder feature, see my opinion here: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/simplebackup/?comment=143

I'm sometimes getting a duplicate entry mineworld/level.dat

The config is like this:

backup-folders:
- mineworld
- creative
- guestland

backup-worlds is not used.

(tested using Simple Backup v1.4 @ Beta CB 1.4.2-R0.2 #2455)

This is a great plugin and the scheduler is very nice, I really like the intervals feature, but when it comes to short-term restoring (like restore the server to a backup made 2 minutes ago) I noticed that the data restored were actually pretty older than that. Is there a way to make it perform a save-all before it performs the backups? Can it be implemented if not? Thanks!

If I want only use the command /sbackup and I don't want scheduled backup? And is there any way to exclude a folder inside another? Like backup /plugins but exclude /plugins/CoreData

Thanks

Sorry for my english

You can put that at the very end of the file.

@YomatsuShimano Use something like this in the configuration:

backup-worlds: - world - world_the_nether - my_world

When the server is starting up, watch the console log for messages from [SimpleBackup] - it should say which worlds will be backed up.

I'm a bit confused of how to set it to backup specific words. I see the comments tell you how, but when i go down to change it, it's not there. And it flips out if you change the comments!

@BioBG Does the server have rights to write in this directory? Can you try to create it manually?
