Pack-agnostic auto-backup and chapter export/import for FTB Quests questbooks. Snapshots config/ftbquests/quests/ (the global questbook, not per-world progress) on server start, server
stop, and on a configurable interval. so a pack update or accidental edit can never permanently wipe your work. Selectively export individual chapters with their lang entries and
chapter-group definition for hot-swapping between dev and shipped packs, or for receiving tester contributions.
Server-side only. Players connecting to a server with this mod don't need to install it.
/questbackup now - Take a manual snapshot immediately
/questbackup list - List existing snapshots, newest first, with size
/questbackup restore Restore a snapshot
(current state is preserved quests.before_restore_<timestamp>/for safety). Run /ftbquests reload after
/questbackup chapters - List chapters in the current questbook
/questbackup export - Export a chapter to questingbackup-exports/. Bundles a .lang.snbt sidecar with relevant translation entries and a .group.snbt sidecar with the chapter's
/questbackup imports - List .snbt files staged in questingbackup-imports/ ready to be imported
/questbackup import - Import a chapter from questingbackup-imports/. Refuses on quest-ID collision or lang-key value conflict; merges in the chapter's group entry if missing <file> in the target.
Run /ftbquests reload after
Config (<instance>/config/questingbackup-server.toml):
- retention_count — backups to keep (default 30, ~3.5 days at default cadence)
- backup_root — backup folder name (default ftbquests-backups)
- interval_minutes — periodic backup cadence (default 180; set 0 to disable)
- backup_on_start / backup_on_stop — toggle the lifecycle hooks (both default on)
Safe in packs without FTB Quests — no-ops cleanly if the questbook folder doesn't exist.

Want me to also update the mods.toml description to match? The one currently embedded in the jar is out of date (still references the old per-world path from before we figured out the
real layout).
