# EcoBack – Simple & Reliable Vault Economy Backups<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
**EcoBack** is a lightweight, open-source Minecraft plugin designed to **backup**, **restore**, and **manage** player balances for any economy plugin hooked into **Vault**. No MySQL database required\u2014everything is stored locally in human-readable **YAML** format.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udcd6 Origin Story<\/p>\n
EcoBack was born out of a specific need. I added a backup feature to the plugin **BalSync** (a tool for synchronizing economy data across servers via MySQL). I realized that not every server wants to run a MySQL database just to secure their player data. I took that core concept and built **EcoBack** as a **standalone**, **lightweight**, and **database-free** alternative. It provides the same peace of mind for single-server setups and small networks alike.<\/p>\n
