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!

Hi. How can I backup to multiple directories.
Example. I have 2 harddrives for backup. A and B
In the config file I use this: backup-file: A:\backups\
But how can I get it to backup to B:\backups\ too?
I haven't updated this plugin since December and it still works great!
Request:
Could you hook into the Dropbox API and make your plugin able to upload the files to dropbox every day at a specific time?
Sorry if this has been requested before but 341 comments are a lot to read :)
I donĀ“t know how much work this is as i just started creating my own plugins and wether it fits in your idea of the plugin, but it would be a nice feature, as my host deletet my whole files and the backup too :(
And about Minebackup that has Dropbox included:
1. Your plugin is better :)
2. Minebackup forces Chunks to unload on my Mod Server with Chunkloaders
@Hamderbob
The plugin should work with 1.5.2 of bukkit.
How is it looking for 1.5.2 does it work for that as well?
@Harry4of4
How do I make it so it will only save backups from present time to last 2 days and delete any backups older ?
k I wasn't really sure thank you

plugin works great and saves like a charm but is there a way to change the colors of the broadcast message? I tried using &7 etc etc etc. before [SimpleBackup] in config and also used &e for the starting and completed messages but it stayed the same dark blue. Thank You for your time.
@Mc_Pasta
yes - set backup-interval to 0
Can I disable auto backup?
I really can't believe that the most popular server wrappers don't have a proper way to do backups yet. By proper way I mean exactly what this plugin does. Congrats on your plugin, it's very well made and has just the right features.
@JoLong
You can add it yourself by adding '- plugins' to the backup-folders: entry in the config.yml.
add the plugins folder to the backup?
Plugin updated, now with a permissions node 'simplebackup.use'. Just awaiting file approval.
@mantun
Sorry my mistake and I go no to this SimpleBackup :-)

Hi, you are not using SimpleBackup, but 'Backup for Bukkit'. Please, post your question on your plugin's page: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/backup/

Thanks, for help.

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.
