gobackup

by Shroom2020

gobackup, a server-side storage mod, backs up a Minecraft server's world to a GoFile account on a schedule, with the server notified in chat when a backup runs.

What it does

Backups are sent to GoFile, which the author's setup uses through an API key tied to a logged-in GoFile profile. Uploading to GoFile requires a paid subscription, so server owners need an account that allows it before the mod can store anything there.

The author notes an option to back up server files instead of only the world folder, and a setting that keeps the world when the config is removed. Manual backups and scheduled backups are both described as possible, though the scheduling and manual trigger details are not yet confirmed. The mod announces the backup start in server chat, and server logs record a backup whatever the configuration.

Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, with the 1.18.2 build as the only one released. The source code and an issue tracker are public, under a custom license that is not open source.

Key features

  1. Chat announcements

    The server announces in chat when a backup begins, so players know a save is being made.

  2. Remote upload to GoFile

    Backup archives are uploaded to a GoFile account using an API key, which keeps copies off the server disk.

  3. Server file backups

    An option allows backing up the server files rather than the world alone, according to the author.

  4. Config-controlled world keeping

    A setting controls whether the world is kept when the mod's configuration is removed.

Use cases

Off-site copies for a server

Who it’s for: Server owners who already hold a paid GoFile subscription and want world backups uploaded automatically. Players connecting to the server need nothing installed.

Questions

Does gobackup need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is listed as a required dependency, and it must be installed next to gobackup on Fabric or Quilt.

Does a player need gobackup installed to join a server running it?

No. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.

Is a GoFile account needed to use gobackup?

The author notes say uploads go to GoFile through an API key and that the service requires a paid subscription, so a suitable account is needed for remote backups.

Which versions does gobackup support?

Builds exist for 1.18, 1.18.1 and 1.18.2, with 1.1.1 for 1.18.2 as the latest Fabric and Quilt file.
