Backup - A simple Backup Plugin :
Version : 1.6

After I've searched for a simple, but powerfull backup plugin, I've tried some backups, but some have bugs, other don't save the world before they zip and so on. So I decided to write my own backup plugin.

Features:

• Automatically backups the server(all worlds) in a Intervall you've decided and zip it.
• Saves every world running on the server and every player before the backup
• Supporting Permission
• Supporting manuel backups (you can use an ingame command or on the console)
  
• Storing only a limit of backups that you've configure
• You can set that only to backup when player are on the server
• Stores also the plugin folder
• Formate the date format

Plugin

Changelog:
Version 1.6:

• Added option to control where the backups are getting stored
• Fixed disabling broadcast messages
• You can now use also the old save system, which is the same as before 1.5
• Uses godsny's suggestion for the config file. Thanks !
• Fixed bug deleting the custom dir when the maximum backup limit is hit!
• Fixed bug stopping the complete backup if there is one file error!
• Fixed bug not disabling the automatic backup when you set the BackupIntervall to -1

Version 1.5:

• Added property to also backup the plugin folder(is set to true by default)
• Fixed issue with data corruption by using not thread save methods. Thanks to desmin88 for the hints!
• All worlds(and when enabled the plugin folder) is stored in ONE ZIP
• Customize the timestamp by merge a fork of xfxian . Thanks to xfxian!
• You can now disable enabling the autosave (the command "save-on", not the backup cyclus!) by setting the property to true. It is false by default. Notify, that I will run the command "save-off" before I will start the backup to prevent unwished results!
• When server is starting, the config.ini is checked now. If you don't have the current config.ini you can see on the console a error. Remove / relocate the config temporary to get the newest one.

After the first start of the plugin it generates a config.ini in "plugins/Backup".
Here is the current content:

b818
backup 1.6
didnt create backups for me. updates to 737 worked fine. just updated. it says it takes a backup, but it doesnt come back and then it also disables auto saving for the world files so i lost about a days work cause of this.
isolated to this plugin since it worked when i took it away.

and yes. restarted 4 times and forced manual backup

 

Have you updated your config?

 

Same problem here.
He starts the backup but and creats the backup folder
and saved the files but he dont zip it an the message backup finished donst appear.
i have reinastallt backup 1.6 a few times and edit the cfg but the problem still exist.

 

Redstone circuits break down every time plugin backs up. even the repeater clock.

 

Okay I'm using CraftBukkit 819, and Backup 1.6 and getting always:

Code:

>backup
15:11:30 [INFO] Start backup
15:11:30 [INFO] Forcing save..
15:11:30 [INFO] ConsoleCommandSender: Forcing save..

Also on automatic backups.

Hi guys!
I have permission 3.1.4.
I am Admin with this conf :

Code:

    Ops:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: '&9'
            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
        permissions:
            - '*'

When I write /backup I have a Message:
You dont have the rights to backup the server.


WHY ???? What Can I do???

 

I believe mine is running perfectly with CB818. I do manually update the config ever since 1.4-ish.
I only have one cosmetic suggestion. I love this plugin, but I do consider it a "running in the background" sort of thing. Perhaps an option to turn off all in-game messages, unless there is a problem.

I realize that the start/finished msgs can now be removed, but if I'm not mistaken there are 2 other msgs being broadcasted, the disable/enable level saving, correct?

I do like the idea of transmitting that a successful backup has been created, so alternatively, maybe only send a single msg at the backup interval that simply states something like "A successful backup has been created."

Thanks again for this great plugin!

 

Why i cant use Colors for broadcast?
for example &4Backup starts

 

Is there a way to turn off "last man" back up? I am running 818 and it works perfectly. The only issue i have is when my autoshutdown/restart plugin tries to run and kicks all the players. I believe its because this plugin is trying to zip my back up and cant get my server to shutdown properly before the new window opens up and trys to start to the server.

 

Is it possible to setup a backup folder on another network device?
Example: \\Server\minecraft_backup

I tried, but it did not work for me.

best regards
Jotebu

 

Love the plugin! I assume this works with CB#860
P.S It's spelled "manual"
Thanks, keep up the good work.

 

I am using this on CB860.. and i get this error:

Good, but the zip backup throws an error... Nevermind. All is well.

And than no new files in backup folder.

Its working now. I had to regenerate the config file.

 

where does it save to? the backups?

 

Im really sorry to bug you, but the download file doesnt give me a .jar file. I want to update to backup 1.6 cuz my 1.5 no longer works (bugs). How do i install the plugin without the .jar file?

nvm got it working fine

I beifly looked at your code and the only thing that I think might be causing this is concurrent modification of the arrays. I would try actually copying the arrays and seeing what happens.

Code:

 private void deleteOldBackups () {
        try {
            //
            File backupDir = new File(pSystem.getStringProperty(STRING_BACKUP_FOLDER));
            // get every zip file in the backup Dir
            File[] tempArray = backupDir.listFiles();
            File[] array = new File[tempArray.length - 1];
            for (int i = 0 , j = 0; i < tempArray.length ; ++i) {
                File file = tempArray[i];
                if (file.isDirectory() && file.getName().equals("custom"))
                    continue;
                array[j++] = tempArray[i]; //THIS IS LINE 155
            }
            tempArray = array;
            final int maxBackups = pSystem.getIntProperty(INT_MAX_BACKUPS);
            // when are more backups existing as allowed as to store
            if (tempArray.length > maxBackups) {
                System.out.println("Delete old backups");

                // Store the to delete backups in a list
                ArrayList<File> backups = new ArrayList<File>(tempArray.length);
                // For this add all backups in the list and remove later the newest ones
                backups.addAll(Arrays.asList(tempArray));

                // the current index of the newest backup
                int maxModifiedIndex;
                // the current time of the newest backup
                long maxModified;

                //remove all newest backups from the list to delete
                for (int i = 0 ; i < maxBackups ; ++i) {
                    maxModifiedIndex = 0;
                    maxModified = backups.get(0).lastModified();
                    for (int j = 1 ; j < backups.size() ; ++j) {
                        File currentFile = backups.get(j);
                        if (currentFile.lastModified() > maxModified) {
                            maxModified = currentFile.lastModified();
                            maxModifiedIndex = j;
                        }
                    }
                    backups.remove(maxModifiedIndex);
                }
                System.out.println("[BACKUP] Removing the following backups due to age:");
                System.out.println(Arrays.toString(backups.toArray()));
                // this are the oldest backups, so delete them
                for (File backupToDelete : backups)
                    backupToDelete.delete();
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace(System.out);
        }
    }

 

How do I install this? The download gives me a .zip, and inside there is no jar file. I have tried to extract the contents of the zip both into the folder backup inside plugins, and also just extract the files/folders directly into the plugin folder

 

I've installed this plugin after I had an unfortunate worldedit schematic disaster a HUGE building much larger than I anticipated.. demolished several buildings I created on my own and then the client crashed preventing me from being able to undo the disaster.. a backup would have been great! now I have backups.. the question is.... how do I restore from it? ..

Say I attempt to load a schematic but I run a backup first ....

/backup BeforeSchematic

Now I paste the schematic in and I crash ..

How do I restore "BeforeSchematic" ? ... can I simply stop the server, extract the zip and overwrite files? .. or is it more involved than this? .. there's no instructions I found on restoring, only backing up .. I saw mention of WorldEdit but there's no detail ..

This would be EXTREMELY useful information to have on the original post because I don't know how to make use of this completely.

 

Hello This has been a fantastic plugin, but recently produces errors. I'm afraid I don't know what changes to my server, if any, coincided with these errors beginning.

I'm running RB860 and Backup 1.6. The error only occurs when players are logged in.

Yup, I would rename the "world" folder just in case you need the original (bigbuildingchaos) world then extract the "world" folder from the zip and place it back into your server folder.

You can use WorldEdit to selectively restore just a small section of your map (useful if you discover something gone after several backups and don't want to lose other work. See here for more details.

 

Same problem as Donald Scot, This plugin is not deleting backups!
The server begin to give an error, after some searching i found that my Backup folder was 120 GB.......
After removing manually ~1200 backups, the server runs again....
Config.ini

Code:

@Meldanor: I didn't want to wait on you, so I went ahead and changed your post to have two unspoilered latest changes. The changelog should always have two latest changes visible.

 

Nice Plugins, works perfectly.
Thank you!

But all my Backups are nothing, if my harddisk crashes

Is it possible to send Backups automatically via FTP oder FTPS to an external Storage?
Incrementiell Backups would be nice too

 

This plugin is not being supported actively by the author. The automatic deletions is clearly broken and will result in full hard drives if you don't intervene.

 

Why is it clearly broken? He set the default limit to 1 day, so you have at least the backups of 24 hours, but when sometimes nobody is online, this plugin won't create a backup, so I have with 12 backups (and yep exact 12 zips without intervention) and 15 minutes also backups from yesterday night (20:25 UTC).

Hi,
I have changed the backups interval in 60 (minutes) and now the day+nigh dures 60minutes (real)... is this plugin that changed it?

 

What do you want to say? You have a backup interval of 1 hour and what is now?

Fabian

 

Oh wow thanks. Every since Minecraft 1.6 was released if at any time my server is unexpectedly turned off by perhaps a power outage, i tend to have a weird biome issue that causes a freeze-over. I always have to make backups to avoid it, but i keep forgetting to do it. Since i found this plugin i don't need to worry as much.

 

uhm, nothing, resolved.. the sun had a problem: it lasted 30 minutes... like the moon (one hour in total) but now are ok.
