[INACTIVE][ADMN] BackupPlugin v0.8.5 (Backups & Maps)

I finally managed to port my BackupPlugin to Bukkit.
You can find the original thread at Hey0's forum

There are some changes and issues with porting to Bukkit:
Console commands won't work at all, also the plugin does not force a world save nor disables saving for the progress of backuping! This will be fixed when it's possible to access console commands with Bukkit.
Also there are some new config options. As there is currently no user rights management, you need to specify all authorized users in the config. Also you now need to set your world name in there.

All other parts of the plugin haven't changed (especially automatic backups and ingame commands are working), so expect the same bugs/issues! Feel free to modify my work if you want and can, because I can't actively develop for some weeks, so don't expect big updates from me. But I know there are other talented plugin developers out there


BackupPlugin v0.8.5

This plugin allows you to create world backups or to generate world maps automatically or via ingame command.

Commands

• /backup <force> (optional) - backups your world data
• /map <force> (optional) - generates map(s) of your world
• /breload - reloads BackupPlugin configuration file
• /loglevel <level> - sets log level

Valid arguments for force are true & false. Using a command with true will result in a forced cache rebuilt, useful if you want to avoid the cache-lifetime for any reason.
Valid arguments for log level are FINEST, FINE, INFO, WARNING or SEVERE (case sensitive!), default is INFO. FINE & FINEST will generate debug output.
Valid arguments for time unit are SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS, DAYS (case sensitive!), default is MINUTES.


Properties

This plugin will generate a properties file in your server home (BackupPlugin.properties)
Here are two examples:

Standard properties file (for mcmap): here
My properties file (for c10t): here


Version History

• v0.8.5
  • added support for GroupUsers Plugin (v1.4.1)
• v0.8.4
  • fixed issues with user rights
• v0.8.3
  • ported to Bukkit
  • added config option for world name
  • added config option authorized-users, separate names with semicolon
  • changed first-run pattern to HHmm (removed the colon!)
  • auto-save while doing backups won't work for now
  • console commands also won't work
• full version history

Future Updates

• All TODOs

Known Issues / Bugs

• spaces in folder structure will lead to fail of mapping!
• windows paths only work if double backslash is used (for example C:\\temp\\world-maps\\ )
• 0 byte zips sometimes
• fail of backup because of tmp_chunk.dat (will be fixed in a future bukkit version)

If you find something that's not working, please set loglevel to FINEST and paste your server logs along with the BackupPlugin.properties here in this thread, or send it to me via pm. Also it would help to know your OS and java version. I'll probably look into it then!

Download

As usual: This plugin is still beta and could behave unexpected or corrupt your world backups. So please do a manual backup of your world before using it!

Plugin

• BackupPlugin v0.8.5
• BackupPlugin v0.8.4

Recommended mapping tools

• mcmap
• c10t

 

New release : 0.8.6
This version works on Craftbukkit #440 and #457
This version works with Permissions 2.0 (and probably more recent version of Permission) and GroupManager 0.99c.
Donwload : https://github.com/downloads/OniTux/BackupPlugin/BackupPlugin.jar
Changelog :

• Force a save-all when a backup or a map generation was started (need to be tested) Oups, It's not ok for this, sorry, I will "fix" it on next release
• Commands can use in console now
• Shorter messages in console log
• Much cleaning code

For the 0 byte zip file bug, I can't reproduce since Minecraft beta 1.3, I need some return (like error log) if you have this problem again.

 

plz help. backup works fine but the mapping fails. im using mcmap with config

I recommend making a new thread for your fork of this project. I also appreciate your work getting this up to date. Looking forward to multiworld support.

 

Is this going to be updated? I have not found a different plugin for bukkit that works as well.

 

see the last post of _Oni_ this is funcional

 

Using craftbukkit build 478, plugin v0.8.5, I get this error at bootup:

Maybe you have right, I will do that this week.

 

Nice ill install it, because one world was deleted by a failed craftbukkit build

 

This plug can does backup every hour every x hours/minutes/day, look config file...

 

yes default time units are minutes but can be changed to hours and days if needed

 

It's exactly that

 

Does not work for Bukkit 468, I get this error:

I've never been on a forum before where the users refuse to read at least 2 pages back before posting =( twice this page alone!

 

Offtopic for a sec: Although the UI is a pleasure to work with, I find that the subtle divisions between posts and the sudden stark divide made my reply boxes makes it difficult to peruse over causally.

 

I was using this plugin when my server was running hey0's mod, since backup the folder doesn't seem to be working correctly. At least I haven't gotten it working, so I wrote 2 shell scripts to do the job. One of the dependencies of the scripts is remote toolkit simply to run the save-all command.

added "nohup sh backup > backup.log &" to my start server shell script.

#!/bin/bash
#backup script
dir=world-backups
for (( ; ; ))
do
./mcr
rm $dir/`ls -1t world-backups/ | tail -1`
rm -r $dir/temp
cp -r world $dir/temp
zip -rq9 $dir/world_`date +"%Y%m%d"`-`date +%s` world
sleep 2000 #based on seconds
done

#!/usr/bin/expect
#Automated Telnet to Remote Toolkit file name of mcr
spawn telnet localhost 25561
expect "username:"
send "myusername\n"
expect "password:"
send "mypassword\n"
expect "Connected to console!"
send "save-all\n"
expect eof

 

This is what I get when I try a /map true :

Code:

And with a /map

Code:

Here is my config.properties

Code:

#BackupPlugin Config File
#Wed Mar 02 10:11:06 CET 2011
debug=false
level-name=world5
automap-period=0
time-unit=HOURS
mapper-executable=tools/mcmap
backup-history=40
authorized-users=
use-latest=false
temp-path=world-backups/temp
log-level=INFO
map-path=world-maps
map-options=-biomes -colors tools/mcmap_colors_new.txt -west -png -file $o $w;-night -biomes -colors tools/mcmap_colors_new.txt -west -png -file $o $w
backup-path=world-backups
cache-lifetime=30
autobackup-period=8
first-run=1200

I use mcmap 2.0c and Minecraft Biome Extractor v0.8
When I launch directly this command from the bukkit root directory, it works :
tools/mcmap -biomes -colors tools/mcmap_colors_new.txt -west -png -file test.png world5

Would it be possible to see the output of the mapper when debug= true ?

 

@_Oni_: Thx for the update!

I have log-level=SEVERE but I allways see the following chat:
[INFO] CONSOLE: Enabling level saving..
[INFO] CONSOLE: Forcing save..
[INFO] Saving chunks
[INFO] CONSOLE: Save complete.
[INFO] CONSOLE: Disabling level saving..
[INFO] CONSOLE: Enabling level saving..

Is it posible to remove these messages and have only one message to all "[SERVER] Saving Map"?

 

I can't, this messages are from save-on/save-all/save-off commands and you have this messages if you are OP (If i'm not wrong)
But maybe, I could have a new way to force save map in disk (more clean and less annoying before do backup/mapping

 

needs a update...

 

i dont get it...

why is the most important plugin for minecraft servers still not updated? this is vital for those typical bukkit crashes..

since v1.3 that this plugin is worthless... it saves the map but the rar is turned in an ugly txt full of strange characters...

 

See previous pages...
Otherwise, The plugin has never used RAR format, if I remember, for backup (only ZIP) and since Minecraft Beta 1.3, the save format has changed.

 

i´ve read all pages and i´ve update it but in the past backup used to save my world in rar files, now it continues to save but they are all messed up.. i presume its because the new world save format that was implemented on v1.3

 

It's and It always was ZIP files for backup, new save format don't change anything beside the content of backup

I try to look it's, a little, but I have the same error and, I don't get output/error of the mapper for the moment.

EDIT : With /loglevel FINEST, you should have output/error in log when you do a /map (but I have anything in my side).
I need more time to investigate.

 

@_Oni_
Big thanks for your fix. Works with #493!

 

Sorry for the bother, but how do I use this with mutliworld?

 

You can't, you can use only for backup one world, for the moment

 

I can't get the mapping process to work, any idea why?

I decided to post my c10t map options line here.
It only renders Isometric at night in the normal world and in the nether world (NetherGate plugin)

Code:

map-options=--memory-limit 512 -w $w -o $o -z --night; --memory-limit 512 -w C:\\Users\\[USERNAME]\\AppData\\Roaming\\.minecraft.server\\nether -o C:\\Users\\[USERNAME]\\AppData\\Roaming\\.minecraft.server\ServerNetherMaps -z --night --hell-mode

It has a max memory limit of 512 mb so it'll use cache and won't bug my computer (I run the server and client on my own computer) to much, make sure to change "[USERNAME]" to your username and replace the server path to something different if you don't use the same path.
Also, if your not on windows, replace "\\" by "\".

Code:

03.03 19:11:05 [Server] WARNING [BackupPlugin]  Mapping failed, something went wrong while executing external code! Exit Status: 141

The mapper is exiting with code 141 instead of 0 (success). So it's throwing some sort of error. Run the mapper with the command you're giving it from BackupPlugin to see the error it's throwing. I ran into this at some point, I don't remember exactly how I worked it out, but that's one of the steps I took.

 

Okay, I did that and it worked. The command I used was:

Code:

minecraft@nusse:/ubercraft/mcmap$ ./mcmap -png -file /var/www/maps/test2.png /ubercraft/world

Any idea why it won't work normally?
