# ExtBackup
|
|
Minimal Minecraft backup mod, relying on external backup tools.
|
|
|
|
## Why?
|
|
The regular well know backup mods lack the sophistication of dedicated backup tools.
|
|
|
|
ExtBackup does not care about storage, retention, rotating old backups, freeing up space or any of that stuff.
|
|
All it does is save the world to disk and then call a script or program on a configurabe schedule. The external
|
|
program can be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. Connect your miecraft to borg, restic, Veeam or
|
|
whatever you like and backup your worlds however you like.
|
|
|
|
## Target audience
|
|
ExtBackup is aimed at server owners. It's so far only tested on Linux and does not offer much configuarion. It just runs
|
|
the program with the Minecraft directory as current working directory. It may well work on Windows, or it may not.
