What's the backup facility in FTB Beyond (and probably other FTB modpacks)

[hux]

Playing FTB Beyond (for MC 1.10.2), every now and then I see a purple message onscreen saying that a server backup is starting and then another one saying it's completed. Can anyone tell me what's initiating that backup? I'm presuming it's a mod (since my vanilla 1.10.2 server doesn't do that) but I can't figure out which one and I'm coming up blank on the googles.

Thanks in advance.

Most modpacks run an internal server instead of a world for single-player games due to it being modded and having chunk loading and such. I feel like backups happen every 5 minutes. Don't quote me on that though.

@hux - I believe the backup you are talking about is the FTBUtilities backup which I think by default is set to every 2 hours. This time can be changed in the config (or disabled I think) if desired, you can also start a backup at any time in game with command /backup start

The config file can be found in /local/ftbutilities/config.cfg

backups {
        # Timer in hours
        # 1.0 - backups every hour
        # 6.0 - backups every 6 hours
        # 0.5 - backups every 30 minutes
        # Min: 0.05
        # Max: 600.0
        D:backup_timer=2.0

Personally I prefer Aroma backup, because I can actually find the backups when something goes wrong.

The internal server is a vanilla thing and is in the game since Minecraft 1.3.

I believe that's it. Thank you very much!

And thanks also to KingTriaxx - I'll take a look at Aroma.

Um, they both backup to the same place.
./minecraft/backup

At least they always have on my games.

Aroma backs up into the actual Instance folder, but I can't find any for FTB Utils.

 

[Pjc21]

FTB backup also in instance folder, so must both use same folder. /instance-name/backup

 

[KingTriaxx]

Nope, Backups folder is empty. It seems that like everything else involving FTB Utils, it doesn't work at all. Ah well.

I looked at my server and there were defiantly files in the backup folder. I don't play single player so I can't confirm if it works there but for servers it seems to work just fine.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can set a custom path in the config file, maybe that is set to something stupid for you or something?

 

[Cpt_gloval]

All my Ftb utilities backed up packs are backing up to the /backup directory. I'm going to have to agree with Ienscas. You're probably configed to put them elsewhere or the /backup directory permissions is not set correctly.

 

[KingTriaxx]

Might be permissions, but Aroma works fine. No matter, I'll just install that and have done with it.
