Some fixes to go with your day:

• Add UTF-8 autodetection for FTP, to better work with non-Latin characters
• Ensure files are not duplicated in zip file with circular links
  
• Background tasks are now properly cancelled with appropriate console warnings when the server is force shut-down, rather than spilling errors everywhere
• Fixed error messages for ftp upload failure
• Add warning message when tasks are cancelled on server shutdown

New Features:

• only-backup-if-players-were-on - only backs up if players have joined in the period between the previous backup and now
• backup-date-format - set date format of backup files
• /ebackup testupload - test FTP/SFTP settings without backing up

Configs are not automatically updated, if you would like to set these settings, manually add them to your config.

Fixes were also added for both FTP and SFTP.

Changes:

• Added compression-level config option, if you'd like to use it with an existing config, add the setting in manually (look at the main page example)
• Added locks for backup processes, so that you don't accidentally start simultaneous backups
• Fixed ignore list with worlds

Please enjoy

Minor update:

• Fixed plugin not starting with old versions of Minecraft that do not have proper Metrics (it now ignores metrics)
• Prevent backups from starting when the plugin is disabled (it used to error out anyway)

Hey,

This update contains a critical fix for 1.16 worlds not being backed up. For some reason the Bukkit API changed somewhat in the folder that it gives.

Please upgrade ASAP if you are using 1.16.

This is another bug fix release.

This release fixes issues with world folders being hidden with backups created on Windows in Windows zip archivers.

This is a quick fix that makes backups occur regardless of there being certain problematic files. It will skip those files, and print an error, rather than erroring out and stopping the backup.

Hey everyone,

This update now has a complete cron implementation, allowing for the use of other cron features, such as step operators. On the server startup, as well as with /ebackup reload, you can now see a description of your configured cron task. The option delete-after-upload was also added to the config (you have to manually add it if upgrading).

Quick fix for backups on servers that have worlds in directories other than the default.

Hey,

This update adds key based authentication for SFTP. In order to use it, you will have to manually add the config keys. Refer to the default config.yml on the front page.

The /ebackup reload command was also added.

Enjoy!

This is a quick fix for Windows zip archivers not being able to see files other than the world in backups.

Hey everyone,

This update fixes FTP support.
Thanks to @marco12en3 for submitting the pull request!

Hey there,

I've added /ebackup backuplocal, which will backup without uploading the zip to FTP/SFTP if configured!

This update fixes a bug where the backup would fail because it would attempt an async world save.

Quick fix.
