1. Added an Asynchronous Method for Backups

• A new method, backupWorldsAsync, was introduced to execute the backup process in a separate thread using Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskAsynchronously.
• This method internally calls the existing backupWorlds method, but it does so asynchronously.

New Method:

2. Modified the /backupnow Command

• The /backupnow command now uses the backupWorldsAsync method instead of directly calling backupWorlds.
• Users receive a message indicating that the backup is starting asynchronously, and the server can continue running without delays caused by the backup process.

Updated /backupnow Block:

3. Preserved the Original Functionality

• The original backupWorlds method remains unchanged, as it is called internally by the new asynchronous method

• Applied and tested on live server: majnuj.com

• Details of the Change:

• Added isFTPConnectionValid Method:
  
  • Validates FTP connection before starting the backup process.
  • If the FTP connection is unavailable, the backups are stored locally.

• Updated backupWorlds Method:
  
  • Checks FTP connection availability before initiating the backup.
  • When FTP is functional:
    • Uploads backups to the FTP server.
    • Deletes local backups after successful uploads.
  • When FTP is not functional:
    • Retains backups locally.
  • Added detailed logging to track the process.

• Enhanced Command Handling in onCommand:
  
  • Logs each received command for easier debugging.
  • Provides user feedback for insufficient permissions.
  • Implemented commands:
    • backupnow: Triggers manual backups.
    • backupreload: Reloads plugin configuration.
    • backupinfo: Displays plugin information.
    • backupauto: Executes automatic backups.

• Preserving Old Backups Using manageLocalBackups:
  
  • Ensures the maximum number of backups is maintained.
  • Automatically deletes the oldest backups if the limit is exceeded.

• Improved Logging:
  
  • Added detailed logs for backup and FTP upload operations.
  • Logs successes and errors during the process.

• Added scheduleDailyBackup Method:

• Automatically performs backups based on a configured time.
• Ensures backups are not repeated within short intervals.

• Applied and tested on live server: majnuj.com

Details of the Change:

1. Added support for a configurable list of ignored directories:
A new key, ignored-directories, was introduced in config.yml.
This key contains a list of directory names that should be skipped during the backup process.

2. Updated the zipFolder method:
Before processing each directory or file, the method checks if the directory name matches any entry in the ignored-directories list.

Result:
Administrators can easily add or remove directories to be ignored via the configuration file.
The default ignored directories are:
