Easy backups
by S6m
Easy backups runs on a Fabric server and saves timed copies of the world, with a recovery system that can restore a previous state.
What it does
The mod takes backups on a schedule. Interval mode runs a backup every set number of minutes, while schedule mode fires at fixed 24-hour times such as 00:00 and 12:00, which suits a daily maintenance window. Empty backups are skipped, so identical saves do not fill the disk.
Archives are written as .tar.gz files, compressed through Apache Commons Compress. Restoring a backup is handled inside the mod: it halts the server, clears the world directory, unpacks the chosen archive and starts the server again, so server owners do not need external scripts or manual file handling. Recovery can also be triggered from the game chat.
Easy backups is a server-side mod for Fabric and is published only for 1.21.10, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released on 2025-12-28. Players connecting to the server do not need to install it. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source in the sense of publishing its full source tree alongside each release.

Empty-save skipping
