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

Posted Sep 28, 2013Every time my automated back up happens the plugin throws an error and does not complete the back which seems to result in a part corrupt zip file.
Once it hit's the error it just finishes the backup regardless if it has completed all the files/folders yet. It back's up the other worlds + plugins files correctly.

Thanks.

Posted Aug 18, 2013How do I use the "List of worlds to backup, leave it empty to backup all worlds" feature?
backup-worlds:
I don't know how to list the worlds I want to be backed up. I want to specify only some of the worlds.

Posted Aug 16, 2013Hey, I should mention something.
When using multiverse, your plugin works and backs up every world in its own folder, ect, but as multiverse worlds are stored in the world folder, the backup for the normal world contains the backups of the others. This may also happen to vanilla worlds but I don't know how they are stored off of the top of my head.
My advice would be to make it skip the files when adding them to the zip if they have the same name as the names of the worlds that already exist. I know this is possible in most languages but am not sure if it is in java, try it out!

Posted Jul 25, 2013Just a quit nitpick. When using the option in the config to select a custom prefix for when /sbackup is used (or an auto-backup), the prefix doesn't support color codes. When I type in &8[&2TLW&8]&9 for the setting, it literally prints as that, with the expected output being the brackets being gray, the text being green, and any text following the second bracket being blue.

Posted Jul 20, 2013Because some people have been asking how to restore their maps I have created a short page explaining the process of it located here. It is also linked in the project description below configuring.

If you are able to copy files remotely, try using disable-zipping in the config (see comments in config.yml for usage), the backup will not be zip, but a folder with copies of all files.

Sorry, there is no easy way of doing that. You can use a third-party software (not a plugin) to backup your plugins folder. Currently we have no plans to add this feature, sorry.
