Thank you for this, It'll help a'lot of people!

Dont work with BukkitForge

Thanks, this is REALLY useful! Keep it updated! :D

Is it possible to backup only part of a world? I have tried using

  localfs:
    enabled: true
    worlds:
    - world/region/

but this doesn't actually backup anything. My entire world is almost 10 gigs which severely limits the backups I can keep and significantly increases the time it takes me to make backups and/or restore from a backup.

The ability to backup just the region data (just the overworld) would be extremely helpful.

Alternatively, it would be nice to backup the region data on one interval, and the entire world on a separate interval.

I am willing to donate specifically for this feature if that helps.

@Omniwrath

It's not possible. (But you can exclude all folders that are in the world folder using excludefolders)

P.S i don't know why you are trying to backup only regions files because there is nothing besides them in world folder(only players in overworld, but you can exclude them).
There ,ay be other world folders in mcpc+, but they are aready ignored.

@Shevdchikden

Hi Shevchikden, thank you so much for the response.

If backing up select folders is not possible, then is it possible to ignore folders with a wildcard?

I run a FTB server that utilizes MCPC+ and a lot of Mystcraft ages, but the Mystcraft ages are primarily used as temporary worlds. Creating backups of Mystcraft ages is something I would prefer to do less often because they require too much space to backup and are not used for permanent homes and such on my server.

These are in the 'world' folder and have a naming pattern like: DIM_MYST195 DIM_MYST196 DIM_MYST# etc.

with newly assigned numbers for each world. So ignoring each of them separately is possible in theory, but it's not ideal when new worlds are being generated on a daily basis.

If I could ignore all folders that start with 'DIM_MYST*' or something, that would absolutely fulfill my desires.

@Omniwrath Do those worlds show themselfs in /gc or /elag (essentials)?

Because i already done that others worlds folders are excluded from overworld backup in mcpc+ and i was sure that it was working.

@Shevchikden

They do show up in /elag and /gc but only the ones that are currently loaded.

Elag image.

There are a lot more ages than those listed here.

@Omniwrath

Ok, i will see if i can add wildcard folders exclude.

@Shevchikden

Thanks a lot. This is a fantastic plugin. Is there a place I can donate to support you/the plugin?

@Omniwrath There is a donate button at the right top corner.

Hi there,
I've some problems with the autobackup, I can't set any external folder. Each time I set a path, the file reload itself and the config is lost. I've tried those

extfolders:
  - 'D:/test'
  - 'D:\test'
  - D:/test
etc...

I've this error :
22:41:29 [SEVERE] Cannot load plugins\AutoSaveWorld\config.yml
22:41:29 org.bukkit.configuration.InvalidConfigurationException while scanning for the next token
22:41:29 found character     '\t' that cannot start any token
22:41:29 in "<string>", line 23, column 1:
22:41:29        - 'T:/test'
22:41:29    ^

Maybe I've forgotten something important but I can't find what ..

@TheRealBix You can't use tabs in yaml config, you should use spaces.

Seriously... I think i'll go suicide me..

Thanks :)

@Omniwrath

I've added a partial wildcard resolution in test build so something like {worldfolder}/DIM_MYST* in exlude list sould ignore all folders which are in the {worldfolder} and names starts with DIM_MYST, you try it and tell me if that works.

@Shevchikden

It's fully functional. Thank you for the update. The only thing worth noting is that it doesn't auto purge the previous backups I had, even after passing the backup limit, so I had to purge those manually.

@Omniwrath

THat's strange it's fully functional for me.
Do you use external folders?
(enable debug and check console if it tryes to delete oldest backup)

(Also if you deleted some of the backups by yourself ASW will still think that they are still there, because data about backups is stored in file)

@Shevchikden

It's not a problem. I only said anything for the sake of completeness and curiosity. It is fully functional, in that it only keeps X number of backups, but it doesn't count the backups it previously made (the ones that still had Mystcraft ages) among those backups. So it was keeping X + old backups. I just had to manually delete the old backups and it is working 100% as intended.

Howdy, I'm trying to use external folders and I'm having issues as well. I'm trying to save to an external drive, and I'm using /Volumes/B2/ASW-Backups/ and every time I reload configuration it wipes that out. Any idea what is going on?

@xllluzionx

show me your config and i will tell you what is wrong , but probably you broke yaml formatting
