ExternalBackups
A plugin created for easy and safe backups.
About:
This plugin was originally created for a server called GerardCraft, because they wanted some hacker-protection. That's why this plugin doesn't just save the backups locally, it also uploads them to an external place. So if a hacker/abusive staff member deletes your server, you still have a backup! In fact, this plugin already saved the server GerardCraft, where a staff member deleted all the servers!
Features:
Installation:
Web server intallation: Download + instructions available here: github
Command:
/exbackup: generates a back-up and upload it the server/dropbox when configured. Permission: externalbackups.backup
/exdropbox: starts the dropbox setup, can't be executed by players with OP. Permission: externalbackups.dropbox.configure
Configuration:
FAQ:
Q: I get error 413, what does it mean and how do I fix it?
A: Error 413 (Http error) means the zip file is too big to be accepted by the server. You can fix this by editing php.ini. Not all hosting companies allow you to do this.
NOTE:
This plugin has been made with security in mind, thats why there are certain limitations like the timeout.
