local fabric server backups
im thinking of backing up my server by creating copies of the server folder, in this case ill just copy paste the smp folder and rename it. is there a software that can automate this?

While not specifically for minecraft or backups, when I had a local server like that, I used https://mega.io/ and just let their app automatically backup my server folder
granted, I already subscribe to their top plan, so it made sense for me, but im sure you could use like google drive or dropbox or whatever to achieve the same thing
i can make you simple automation if you want
ahhh i see, thank you!
i would love that!!! but u dont have to if it takes u long
no it will take like 15 minutes but if you don't need it for yesterday i'd prefer to do it tomorrow (i am in GMT+2)
dont worry idont need it right now
there's a lot of backup options. pretty sure there's a handful of backup plugins that can copy world data specifically.
You can also use general backup solutions like Veeam, Duplicati, Borg, and many others. They tend to support "pre-backup scripts" and "post-backup scripts", so you could do a save/shutdown on a pre-script and a start-up on a post-script, or however you want to do it.
depending on what solution you choose, you can get differential data backups so only changed data takes up space, and get smarter backup retention.
you dont need to shutdown before doing a backup
just /save-all
don't know the kind of server exactly, so I'd be skeptical depending on what they're running.
im running a fabric server
is copy pasting the smp folder viable?
yes if you dont modify any file
