NEW FOR 2023+
UPDATED BACKUP AND SERVER START
The following is a vanilla version that can be easily modified for any MC server. I made some changes from the original one since that one is based a lot on my BLAZEPANEL. Both ServerStart and backup can be used independently of each other. currently is set to make a max of 7 backups
UPDATES:
- ServerStart: Server now checks and downloads updated minecraft server for you
- Backup: Server does not need to be shut down to backup world. The only file that is not backed up is the "server.lock" which is not needed
- Backup: Default set to 7 days, for slow servers. See line #64 change the "-7" to whatever number (make sure it is a negative).
TODO: Backup to dropbox (or your favorite online site - better than backing up to the same computer). Bookmark
Install is easy.
- Get CURL* for windows. This is used to check for newer MC server updates.
- Place both of these batchfiles in your server directory.
- Open windows TaskScheduler (or cron) and set a time for the backup script to run.
- Run the ServerStart.bat (acts as a restarter as well). Your done.
*I could never get WGET to work.
