Backups
Table of Contents
Using Backup
To backup:
mscs backup <world>
Where <world> is the world to backup. Leaving <world> off will back up all worlds.
By default, backups are saved in /opt/mscs/backups. The location backups are saved can be configured by changing mscs-backup-location in mscs.defaults or the world’s mscs.properties config file (See Adjusting World & Server Properties).
Scheduling Backups
To schedule backups so they run periodically, please see scheduling tasks.
Cleaning Backups
Backups are automatically cleaned whenever a backup runs.
You can manually clean up the backups created by running the mscs clean-backups command.
Viewing & Restoring Backups
You can view the backups created by running the mscs list-backups command, and restore a backup using the mscs restore-backup command.
You can specify how long to keep backups by changing the mscs-backup-duration property in mscs.defaults or the world’s mscs.properties config file (see Adjusting World & Server Properties).
