Backup

Backups snapshot your server configuration so you can restore it later.

Basic configuration

config.yml

Backup:
  Enabled: true          # Turn backups on
  Schedule: 1d           # How often to back up
  MaxBackups: 5          # How many backups to keep
  LogsChannelID: "CHANNEL_ID" # Channel for backup alerts

What each option does

• Enabled

  • Turns the backup system on or off.

• Schedule

  • How often backups run.

  • Examples: 30m, 2h, 1d, 7d.

• MaxBackups

  • Maximum number of backups to keep.

  • Old backups are deleted automatically.

  • Rule of thumb: small servers 3–5, large servers 2–3.

• LogsChannelID

  • Channel that receives backup notifications.

  • Leave as "CHANNEL_ID" to disable notifications.
