**Description**
\n—————<\/p>\n
Simple Backup utility for servers.\u00a0 Automatic backups at intervals, with configurable options such as compression to zip file, pausing auto backups if no players are online, etc.<\/p>\n
See\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/spoorn\/SimpleBackup\/blob\/main\/SUMMARY.md\u00a0for technical details on the backup logic, compression, benchmarks, multi-threading, etc.<\/p>\n
**Features**
\n————<\/p>\n
* Automatic backups at configurable intervals
\n* Pausing backups if no players are online to save resources
\n* Backups are done asynchronously to minimize impact on game performance during backups
\n* Compressing backup to .zip or .tar.lz4 file
\n* Configurations to limit number of backups to keep, and guards to ensure backups do not exceed the disk space
\n* Manual backups can be triggered with command\u00a0`\/simplebackup start`, `\/simplebackup zip`, `\/simplebackup lz4`, `\/simplebackup directory`
\n* Manual backup permissions can be configured in the config
\n* Backup is stored in the game directory under\u00a0**backup\/**\u00a0parallel to\u00a0mods\/ and config\/ folders, or can be configured to any absolute path in the system
\n* Backup file format is\u00a0**YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS(.zip|.tar.lz4)**\u00a0(example:\u00a0backup\/2022-05-04_05-04-13.zip for ZIP format, or\u00a0\u00a0backup\/2022-05-04_05-04-13\/ for DIRECTORY format)
\n* Message will be broadcast to players when backup is in progress.\u00a0 The message is configured in the config to allow for language translations and keep the mod completely server-side.\u00a0\u00a0The messages can be disabled
\n* And yeah, the mod is only required on the server!<\/p>\n
**For help on choosing which backup format to use, see\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/spoorn\/SimpleBackup\/blob\/main\/README.md**<\/p>\n
**Config**
\n———-<\/p>\n
You can tune all the features in the config file at `config\/simplebackup.json5`. Check out the config documentation at\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/spoorn\/SimpleBackup\/blob\/main\/config-documentation.json5\u00a0for more details<\/p>\n
Note: the config file must be in UTF-8 format. For example, if you’re using a special keyboard or text editor to type special characters for the broadcast messages, it must be encoded in UTF-8. If you aren’t sure, you can put your special characters in a tool like https:\/\/checkserp.com\/encode\/unicode\/, and use that in the config file, which will be able to be parsed correctly.<\/p>\n
