BackupExtended

This plugin has 2 main functions:
1) Extend the number possible last backups up to x instead of only 4 by system default.
2) can run also automated backups while server is running.

The inbuilt backup does run on every startup, but can save only 4 starts back

 

@Fujikura Just wanna thank you, I put this on months ago because relying on the in game backups led to 2 big rollbacks. Today this plugin came through for me, for some reason 4 out of 5 of my backups save files were corrupt and had half the entities in them, I loaded in after todays Steam auth thing to find massive chunks out of everyones base. I navigated to the last backup, loaded and boom everything was back.

I'd also only JUST fixed server crashes that I'd been having for the last week as well so this would have sealed our fate.

You saved my server, thanks.

 

@Fujikura Quick question though, why does my 0 folder have a my_server_identity folder and a folder with my actual numbered server identity?

The numbered one is from the last backup, so is that the vanilla Rust's folder?

 

Fujikura updated Backup Extended with a new update entry:

0.3.2

 

Just updated and got an error, here is a picture.

"maxPlayers": 20, if players are >like maxplayers then plugin dont do backup? right?

i havr 60 slots on server and i want do backup time every 1800s it's my cfg rigt?

Code:

{
  "Notification": {
    "backupBroadcast": false,
    "backupDelay": 5,
    "prefix": "BACKUP",
    "prefixColor": "orange",
    "useBroadcastDelay": true
  },
  "Settings": {
    "numberOfBackups": 8
  },
  "Timer": {
    "delayRetrySeconds": 120,
    "maxPlayers": 60,
    "maxRetry": 10,
    "timerInterval": 1800,
    "useTimer": true
  }
}

 

Your current config checks if the players are under 60, if not, it delays the next check for 120 seconds. When the next 9 checks are also over that limit, then the 10th check will force the backup.
But a timerInterval of 3600 seconds instead of 1800 should be really enough for most cases. For lower saves-intervals you should use
my other plugin for such cases >>> SaveMyMap for Rust | Oxide

 

I use Savemymap and this ;p i have problem with roolback my server last time and i must have copy players data for last 10h

Backup Extended does not work properly for me does not create new directories in /serverfile/backup
[DOUBLEPOST=1486729838][/DOUBLEPOST]I reload plugin and now i have new folders but.. All folder have this same created time
https://i.gyazo.com/df98308892bea47e8d24aa0fed34fa41.png

And in folder 0 i have folder name - my_server_identity but in other ( 1-4) folder name is "rust-server". Directory to server file is

/home/rustserver/serverfiles/server/rust-server

 

which folder is the last game save? -0? Could you may add placing a txt file inside the folder with the date and time, in the name of a copy file? Example 14: 35-10.02.17.txt?

 

0 is always the latest one. And there's no real option to add specific files, the backup-function is a simple move and copy job.

 

Thanks for reply. still i have problem with plugin after 12h i have 9 folders. in folder 0 i have "my_server_identity", folder 1 is empty, 2 have folder with name "rust-server", 3-4 are empty, 4-9 have inside folder with name "rust-server". now my server stand up after crash and in "0" i have new folder with name "rust-server" and "my_server(..)"

 

Fujikura updated Backup Extended with a new update entry:

0.3.3

[DOUBLEPOST=1486824582][/DOUBLEPOST]

Try the new one

 

nice! i try. Thanks

 

@Fujikura Noticied something weird, 0 folder has 'my_server_identity' Folders 1-4 are empty, and 5 has a folder with the proper server identity from a couple days ago.

Code:

    "numberOfBackups": 6
  },
  "Timer": {
    "delayRetrySeconds": 60,
    "maxPlayers": 10,
    "maxRetry": 10,
    "timerInterval": 7200,
    "useTimer": true

Not seen this sort of behaviour prior to latest version.

Thanks

 

Did you already update to 0.3.3 and did watch this afterwards? Sure it should have changed this uncommon behaviour again...

 

Yeh I usually update plugins as soon as they're updated

 

In my experience it looks good now again..did drive several restarts and backups while runtime...
The only empty folder it must is always number 3 short before restart..

 

A few days later it's still just my folder 5 and 0 with content and nothing in between.

 

@Fujikura Looks like it's still a bit screwy with most folders empty. Is it because my backup is every 5 hours and my restart is every 12? so it just starts from the beginning after every restart?

 

It was shortly a problem after a patch weeks a go..But my last change htne tid reyolve that also for me on two machines.
I did then, to be proof, backup the latest folder ( 0 ) and did delete then the complete backup rootfolder. Maybe you should follow this too for coming back to normal state.
