[ADMN] Backup v2.5 - A full & simple backup plugin [BukkitDev]

thanks!

Damn!
I was looking into taking this over >.<

Stolen xD You can always help if you want!

I have enough plugins to work on, I was intrested in this because there are no other back up plugins.
lol

Erm. Yes there are.

I meant any on 1240 >_>
*hides his mistake*

YOUR WRONG!

is the backup interval in minutes ?

Yes.

Awesome. Thanks for taking this over, it's such a simple plugin to implement and use I can't see anyone not using it.

How do I turn off backup notification? I updated and suddenly everyone on my server gets the notice. backup.notify perhaps?

It would be great if this could save my MySQL Database too!

//edit:
the /backup command dont work for me and in the loggs i dont see that the plugin is activated oO

https://github.com/gamerx/Backup/issues/19
- You can turn them off server-wide by leaving the strings for starting and finished backup empty, but ill get this feature in 1.8.2
EDIT: Done

- We are going to implement this, but as it is not a priority, it will not be in the next version, ill look at getting it out asap though
- If you cant see that it has been activated, then theres no way i can debug it Make sure you have "Backup.jar" in /plugins, if you get an error, by all means post it, and ill help you out)

is it just me or is this not working? it says its loaded, i am op but yet when i type /backup nothing happens and there is no save in the folder.

Thanks for this, it works but can you make it compatble with WordEdit snapshots?

ok i seem to have found the problem it will not work with EssentialsGroupManager if i remove EssentialsGroupManager.jar it works fine but when i put it back on it stops working and yes i have added the permissions, it will just not work with EssentialsGroupManager, can you fix this please

Great plugin. Just started running a server again and this is something I was definitely missing last time.

Permissions don't seem to be working with PermissionsBukkit. It works fine when I make myself OP. Running 1.8.1 on RB #1240 with PermissionsBukkit 1.2k.

Can you please let me know what versions of the plugin and server you are using so that i may reproduce the problem?
Are you using any permissions system, if so, what version, provide link to plugin so that i can test.
Thanks.

Hey, What versions of these plugins are you using? I have been testing the plugins permissions compatability with Essentials, and it is working fine for me.
TY

Ill test it today and see if I can release a fix in the next version.

Hey everybody!

We plan to remove the feature that allows you to backup to seperate the worlds into different ZIP's/Folders.

As i see it, this feature is un-needed, and having it repeats a fair chunk of code.

There is almost no point to this, as the same thing is achieved, only the folders are one level deeper.

You will still be able to exclude worlds, and this will also make excluding plugins easier.

I just wanted to get an idea of if people actually use this, and why.

Thanks

Very nice plugin! Though, plugin version is needed in title.

i am useing Essentials build 2.6.2 and EssentialsGroupManager version 1.2 and they are the latest ones but the /backup command will not work, oh and im also running the latest bukkit build

I know there was an issue with this before version Backup 1.8.1 can youtry using thisd build?

@gamerx93
You need to add the plugin version in the title

What Title?

@gamerx93
Currently:
[ADMN] Backup 1.8.1 - A simple Backup Plugin [1240]

Should be:
[ADMN] Backup v1.8.1 - A simple backup plugin [1240]

Though, are you using the Minecraft Version for your Plugin...? As that's how it seems.

Ahh, I see, simple change.

No, Not using MC versioning for the plugin, it just turned out that way.

thanks mate that build works like a dream.. keep up the good work, oh and i have just tested it on the bukkit Build #1317 and all seems to work great, thanks again.

We used the older version of this plugin but noticed a few things:

We have a small raid with SSDs and grandfather the backups to something off the array. We kept the backup count low, to like 10 (running 1 time per hour) so we didn't fill up the raid before the grandfather cronjob ran. Every 4-5 days, however, backups would stop pruning and the raid would fill up and abruptly stop the server due to out of disk space. Also, why doesn't it zip the whole folder? We have schematics, text files, etc in there and while the world and plugin folders are obviously great, it feels incomplete.

Ultimately, We moved to rdiff and never looked back. Your plugin would be great if it zipped the entire folder up though! I would feel safe about using it. Maybe something else that would be awesome is to have it run off system time somehow? Every reload the backup timer resets. Not a huge deal but it would be very nice Thanks for updating an important plugin.

Will you be updating it to 1317 version mate?
