Inactive [ADMN] Backup v2.0 - A full & simple backup plugin [1.2.5-R4.0]

Of course

I can't start a backup ingame with the command /backup though I have admin-permissions ('*' and permissions are enabled in the config-file) and I'm op.
I'm using PermissionsEX v.1.15 and Bukkit Build 1317 (but it didn't worked with build 1185 either).
Calling backup from the console works fine.
Any recommendations? (Will post permissions-file/backup-config/server-log though no errors on request.)
EDIT: Not working with build 1240, too.

This.

Neither command-based nor automatic backups are working. build 1240

EDIT: Automatic work, manual do not.

Can you try using this build?
Download

Would it be possible to include an option to ONLY save the plugins folders without the jars in it (and the worlds ofc)? Those just take unneeded space on my disk!

Added to: https://github.com/gamerx/Backup/issues/4

Ok, next time i've got an idea i'll open an issue

BTW: Seems to run fine with CB#1318

This one fits in with this issue, so yeah.

Next time, open a new one

EDIT:
And yeah, i just need to push to master, and then update the jar on BukkitDev and everyone will be happy.

Now I get the error "Unknown command."
EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot to copy the new version to the plugin folder, I only deleted the old one >.<
Works flawless now, thanks for your support!

As you have released 1.8.2 and closed the issue with the jars. how do i exclude them now? I seem to miss the option

Hi, can you help me please? I'm getting this error every backup (manual or automatic):

Code:

[WARNING] Task of 'Backup' generated an exception

I looked for a place to to post this on github, but I did not find, so I posted it here.

thank you for your awesome plugin.

Can you add configurable places to back it up to?
eg. Backup to a USB or Drive inserted in computer
Looks Good though!

I need a backup plugin that is compatible with WorldEdit Snapshots. That is, as far as I understand, the backup directory structure needs to be:

• backups/
  • worldname1/
    • YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip (or folder)
    • YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip (or folder)
    • YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip (or folder)
  • worldname2/
    • YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip (or folder)
    • YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip (or folder)
    • YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip (or folder)
  • worldname3/
    • YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip (or folder)
    • YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip (or folder)
    • YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.zip (or folder)

If the removal of the "singlebackup" config variable means that this structure won't be possible. In addition, I think that keeping backups for separate worls in separate folders makes more sense than keeping them all in the same folder, since that folder can get very messy very quickly on servers with more than a couple worlds.

Searching for plugins is a pain, and finding plugins that do exactly what I need is even more of a pain, especially with the unfortunate lack of centralization in the community now. One of the biggest boons a plugin can have is interoperability, or at least compatibility, with other plugins. Considering how ubiquitous WorldEdit is and how underused (in my opinion) the Snapshot functionality seems to be, having at least one backup plugin work that way would make mine and probably many other peoples' lives easier.

I don't have any preferences when it comes to backup plugins. I apologize to other backup plugin authors, this thread just happened to be easiest to find and post in. (The call for feedback certainly made me feel more invited.) I don't really mind which plugin adopts the compatibility, as long as someone does.

I should also note that I never liked plugins that don't come with solid, working configurations out of the box or fill the config files with useless examples. If there already are backup plugins out there that have this compatibility, I'm sorry I didn't find them. None I saw advertised the compatibility (I think they should) and few made the directory structure apparent without testing or checking the source code, neither of which I am eager to do when hunting for the right plugin.

Anyhoo, that's my feedback!

Thanks

I updated to 1.8.2 and when I was looking over the new config.yml I realized I overlooked the option:
onlyops: true

I went back to 1.8.1 and set it to false and sure enough, the /backup command worked fine from a non-OP on PermissionsBukkit. Sorry for the false report.

I've noticed that the plugin now puts everything in a single ZIP-file.
This is very unfortunate because other plugins and skripts of mine are working with the world files.
(i.e. one script extracts the world-files as snapshots for WorldEdit's /restore // one script builds internet-accessible maps with Overviewer)
Now I would have to rewrite the scripts to delete the wrong worlds and plugins after extracting.

Also I regularly delete the plugins and nether-backups from my file store, while keeping older backups from the main world. With a single backup-file I have to manually delete the folders from the archive.
Am I just to stupid to find the configuration key for getting back the splitted ZIPs?

This is the same issue my post above was addressing. The separated zip feature is gone, probably because no one spoke up before it was removed. Hopefully it will be revisited now.

Oh... gamerx actually asked the people if this feature is needed on github.
I just have not noticed that
Well meanwhile I'll return to the old version which worked fine for me. And if it breaks with an update I may just fork Backup, seek a different plugin, or rewrite all of my scripts (whichever seems to be the least work).

Edit: I just read your post.
I agree a true compatibility with WorldEdit's snapshots would be a great idea.
Currently I extract the last backup per script into a snapshot called "current", because extracted snapshots are somewhat quicker with large regions than compressed.
But a true compatibility, without the need of nightly cron-jobs would we marvelous.

Hey, I love your plugin and I used it since a long time, but after the 1.8.2 update I get this error in my console.

Can you help me?

skipplugins (Default: none)
Just add the files/folders under the plugins folder to exclude. for axample, to exclude the Backup plugin's jar, put "Backup.jar" or for the folder, "Backup". for both you need "Backup;Backup.jar" etc, etc.

Read the documentation here:
https://github.com/gamerx/Backup/wiki/Configuration

You are probably running an older version of CraftBukkit, make sure you are using the latest RB. (1317)

And: https://github.com/gamerx/Backup/issues

Messaged you on your profile.

Everyone else:
https://github.com/gamerx/Backup/issues/26

Make sure in your config file:


backupeverything should be set to false.

*cough* That example is NOT in the Docu

Other thing... URGS that will be a HUGE line, 40 plugins to skip -.-

Sorry, added: https://github.com/gamerx/Backup/wiki/Configuration

Also, can you think of a better way?

Have a separate config line that lists the plugins not to ignore?

Or, have skipplugins be dual purpose. If false, have the next line, say 'pluginlist', list the plugins to ignore.
If true, have 'pluginlist' list plugings to archive.

Or have them be separate entities with one overriding the other. That approach may cause some misconfiguration (I didn't see that you can't have both!), but it might be the easier way from a programming perspective.

Very cool idea: https://github.com/gamerx/Backup/issues/27

You could apply a FilenameFilter to the plugins folder, if any extension is specified in the config (new option: FilesToSkip: <list in yml format of ext here>, e.g. FilesToSkip: [jar, exe] <- Now all files ending with jar or exe are excluded) you could run the filter and only get a list of Files and folders which do not match the extension. I haven't look at your code very close but i guess this should be very possible.

Hey guys, can i get some volunteers to do testing on 1.8.3-dev?
Download it here!

All functionality needs testing.
If you find any bugs:
- If you have a GitHub account: Here
- If not: Here

Thanks heaps!

Approved

Thanks so much for this plugin. Even though i dont need backups, its always great to have just in case
