Simple Server Backups
Simple Server Backups is a lightweight and easy-to-use Minecraft server backup mod designed for Fabric. It allows server administrators to create, manage, and restore world backups directly from in-game commands, making it easy to protect your server data.
Features
- Create backups instantly or with a custom name.
- View a list of all available backups.
- Check detailed information about any backup.
- Delete old backups.
- Schedule a backup restore (the server will stop and restore the selected backup on the next startup).
- Reload the mod configuration without restarting the server.
- Automatic daily backups at a fixed time you choose, plus a command to check how long is left until the next one.
- Status messages (backup progress, completion, deletion, scheduled restores) are broadcast to every connected player, no matter who ran the command — even from the server console.
- Available in English and Spanish, with more languages easy to add.
Fully configurable through a configuration file:
- Enable and configure the daily automatic backup time.
- Set the maximum number of backups to keep.
- Change the mod language.
