Textile Backup
by Szum123321
Textile Backup is a Fabric utility that makes scheduled and manual backups of a server world, with several compression formats and automatic cleanup of old archives.
What it does
The mod creates backups of a server's world folder, either on a timer or on demand through commands. Compression runs on multiple threads, and the compression format can be chosen from several options, so server owners can trade archive size against the time a backup takes. Backups can be made much faster when other mods are involved in the same process, and a performance-tuned preference is available for servers that need lower overhead.
Old backups are removed automatically by age, number or total size, so the backup folder does not grow without limit. Management is built in: access to the backup commands can be restricted with a whitelist or a blacklist of players. Restoring an older world is straightforward but requires a server restart. The mod requires both Fabric API and Cloth Config to run, and Mod Menu is optional for editing its settings in-game. Textile Backup is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and is published for Fabric alone across 34 release versions, 1.15.2 – 1.21.10.

How it compares
Skip backup screen is a client-side only MIT-licensed mod for 1.19 – 1.21.11 that skips a confirmation screen rather than backing up worlds. Simple Backup is server-side only, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and covers 1.18 – 1.20.1, so it reaches fewer recent versions. Backup Manager runs on client and server across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.18.2 – 1.21.5, and is not open source.
