how would i change the path it backs it up to right now it is going in my server folder and i would like it to go to my dropbox folder which is here c:\Users\jason\Dropbox

tried changing it in the config the first option there and when i tried backing up i got an error


backup {
# Folder name to store backups in. Each world's backups will be stored in
# subfolders of this one. This can be an absolute path.
#
# Examples:
# - backups
# - C:\backups
# - \\server\backups
S:backupFolder=c:\Users\jason\Dropbox




is this right or no

Yes, that should be correct. I'd also suggest making a folder in your DropBox folder such as "MineCraftServerBackups", but that should work. Maybe try a capital 'C', which should do nothing at all but it is worth trying.

it happens when i do /backup run. but the error does not occur when i have the default path which is backups.
it only occurs when i set it to my dropbox location which is C:\Users\jason\Dropbox\FTBServerBackups.

in the first spolier i point out which line i edited to change the path to my dropbox one.
hope you know what i did wrong thank you VERY much for helping me.

Ah, thank you, that is good to know. I actually have mine keep three copies of my backups, as I have another program (SyncBack) copy over all backup copies using an FTP account to my offsite storage location.
