How does Bkups work?
How are folders created
Bkups creates a folder in .minecraft\bkups if any bkup is created (excluding legacy ones, they are stored in .minecraft\backups, wich is the vanilla minecraft folder)
Following this logic, if only one backup has been created in .minecraft\bkups\manual it will only be create in that specific folder
This means that it is a local backup system, which means that all related files are on your PC
How does it work online?
When two or more people are connected to your server with Bkups installed:
If a player is not an admin:
- When a backup is done, the message will appear in the chat, but the path will not
- They will also not be able to use the commands or buttons that appear in the pause menu
If a player is an admin (/bkup admin <player>):
- They will be able to see the path
- Use all commands and buttons
- If they make a backup, it will be stored in the local folder of the server owner
Backups to World
When a backup is created, bkup compress the world in a .zip, this .zip is later decompress after restaured
These .zip files are complete compressed copies of your world, so no data is lost
The command /bkup compression <mode> changes the way in wich the folders .zip are stored
