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.
Todo list
FTP support- Timed backups
- Suggestions?
@Timtower
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.
@The_PC_Tech_Guy
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.
There needs to be a way to report progress on the backup - I don't see any backup on my server or in dropbox...
@The_PC_Tech_Guy
It is for the plugin itself.
It is to determine if it is time for a new timed backup already.
Can you explain what the LastBackup node is under TimedBackup?
@KyleLazo
Try and find out, I don't do anything version specific with this plugin, I actually barely touch Bukkit with this.
Does v0.0.5 support CB 1.8.1?
@pokekart2014
Just need to wait till it gets approved.
This is pretty cool, and straight forward,
Wish the "timed backups" feature was added soon.
@Reaperxxxxx
It can take a long time to upload / compress everything. Especially with a big server.
@Timtower
I had to wait a while but a backup went into my folder eventually
@Reaperxxxxx
Is it not doing amything or do you not see it doing anything.
Hello, Whenever I do /backuplikeme start it brings a starting backup message but nothing happens. Should I post my logs or something?
I 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 :)
@RedJon28
Please make a ticket about this and provide some sort of prove. Just saying it won't help me or you.

Follow that and you should be done. Unless you did it with the old version, then you can copy that file over.
how i can setup my drpbox account?
@RedJon28
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.
Great idea please make it support ftp asap!!
