📋 About This Mod
This Plugin has been set to an archive as it is not as good as other backup plugins, eats up lots of storage space, and kills your ssd with all of the writes. Although it is a bad backup plugin it is still very good & efficient for exporting minecraft servers.
Our plugin streamlines backups to easily backup your worlds, plugins, and other server files automatically.
## Low Storage cost
Compresses your backups to take up far less storage than typical backups.
## Compression Options
- Can pick level of compression on a scale 0-9
- 0-2 .tar -no compression just as much storage as server's raw files
- 3-6 .zip -standard zip file faster compression and compatible with more machines.
- 7-9 . 7z -highest level of compression, takes longer
## Commands
- /backup now - creates a backup
- /backup list - lists backups
- /backup delete
## Player Control - Can kick players when starting a backup - Can prevent players from joining if a backup is in progress - When managing players gives them a message, "backup in progress" - Can backup silently in the backround (NOT recommended)
## Customizable Scope - can choose what specific files to include/exclude - ex: plugins/BetterBackups/ ## Performance - Configurable thread usage - Optional I/O throttling to reduce disk impact ## Plug & Play automatically fetches compression binaries so you can compress to .tar, .zip, and . 7z just from installing the plugin. ## Logs - every backup - when a folder is skipped - size of backups ## Permissions - backup.run - able to use /backup now - backup.restore - able to use /backup restore - backup.list - able to use /backup list - backup.admin - able to use all backup commands
## Safety Features - Prevents overlapping backups - Aborts if disk space is too low - Detects and removes partial backups - Optional checksum verification (SHA-256) (EXPERIMENTAL)
