Description

Safekeep

Backups for people who forget to make backups. The server saves the world and zips it on a timer, keeps the newest few and deletes the rest.

What it does

  • Every hour by default, the world is saved and zipped to backups/<world>-<date and time>.zip in the server folder.
  • Keeps the 10 newest and removes older ones, so the disk does not fill up.
  • The server stays up: the zip is written on a worker thread while autosave is paused, and a half-written file is never left behind under the final name.
  • /backup now and /backup list for operators, with a sound when a backup is done or has failed.
  • Settings in config/safekeep.json: everyMinutes, keep, folder.

There is no restore command on purpose: to restore, stop the server and unzip the backup over the world folder.

Needs

  • Minecraft 26.3 (Fabric), or the other versions listed under Files (NeoForge 26.3, Fabric and NeoForge 1.21.1, Fabric and Forge 1.20.1)
  • Fabric API on Fabric
  • Server side only: players join with a vanilla client. In single player it works too.
