<\/p>\n
Just Enough Backups is a Fabric mod that adds server-side world backups with a usable in-game workflow.<\/p>\n
It supports:<\/p>\n
– full, partial, and differential backups
\n– manual backups through commands and UI
\n– automatic scheduled backups
\n– configurable public backup\/restore announcements
\n– retention by backup count
\n– retention by total backup size per world
\n– restore preparation from the backup browser
\n– a configurable client HUD popup with live preview
\n– optional Mod Menu integration<\/p>\n
The mod is designed to keep the actual backup logic on the server side while exposing management and configuration through a client UI.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### Backup types<\/p>\n
– **Full**: stores a complete snapshot of the world.
\n– **Partial**: stores changes relative to a base backup.
\n– **Differential**: stores changes relative to a base backup, while keeping a separate retention bucket from partial backups.<\/p>\n
Dependencies between backups are tracked. Retention and delete operations respect those dependencies, so required base backups are preserved when newer partial or differential backups still depend on them.<\/p>\n
### Automatic backups<\/p>\n
Automatic backups are driven by the scheduler and can be configured to:<\/p>\n
– run every `X` minutes (60 by default)
\n– send one optional public warning before an automatic backup starts
\n– pause when no players have been online since the last backup
\n– run on server start
\n– run on server stop<\/p>\n
Public announcements can be sent to chat, sent to the action bar, or disabled.<\/p>\n
### Retention policy<\/p>\n
Retention can be configured in two ways at the same time:<\/p>\n
– **count-based retention**
\n – keep the newest `X` full backups
\n – keep the newest `X` partial backups
\n – keep the newest `X` differential backups
\n– **size cap per world**
\n – optional hard cap for the total size of a world’s backup folder
\n – applied to the final published backup set
\n – respects dependency chains<\/p>\n
If a new backup would exceed the configured space cap even after deleting every backup that is allowed to be removed, creation fails instead of publishing an invalid final state.<\/p>\n
### Backup management UI<\/p>\n
The backup browser includes:<\/p>\n
– refresh
\n– create backup
\n– rename backup
\n– delete backup
\n– restore backup
\n– dependency-aware inline details
\n– search\/filtering<\/p>\n
Manual backup creation supports a custom file name from both the command line and the UI.<\/p>\n
### Config UI and popup preview<\/p>\n
The config screen exposes:<\/p>\n
– backup mode and scheduler options
\n– retention rules
\n– permission level
\n– integrity mode
\n– backup directory
\n– popup text, colors, channels, and layout<\/p>\n
The popup preview screen lets you move and preview the HUD state before saving.<\/p>\n
