This mod allows you to store backups in a different file format like 7z or tar.xz

Description

For more in-depth discussions, there is a discord-server available.

 

This mod allows you to store your backups from your world in less common formats. It depends on your preference, which formats you want to use.

The currently supported formats are:

  • tar.bz (Tarball and Bzip compression)
  • tar.xz (Tarball and Xzip compression)
  • tar.br (Tarball and Brotli compression)
  • tar.pack200 (Tarball and Pack200 compression)
  • 7z (7z Archive) (This may be inappropriate for large worlds, as the entire backup is stored in memory first. Use tar.xz instead for the same compression algorithm, but a lower memory footprint)

Please note: In addition to installing this mod, you have to enable it in the config file of the backup mod. To do that, you need to:

  1. Open the config/aroma1997/aromabackup.cfg file.
  2. set the value of "compressionType" to one of the supported formats. The line should then look like:
    S:compressionType=7z

If you applied these changes, all backups will be created and restored in the selected type.
