cuprite

A fast and simple Minecraft server backup daemon.

Video demonstration

• The Fastest Minecraft Server Backup Tool in the West

Install

Pre-compiled binaries (only available for x86-64 Linux systems)

• Download the latest release
• Make the downloaded binary executable

shell sudo chmod +x cuprite

Compiling from source

If you are on another platform, compile the binary yourself to try it out:

sh git clone https://github.com/tropicbliss/cuprite cd cuprite cargo build --release

Compiling from source requires the latest stable version of Rust. Older Rust versions may be able to compile cuprite, but they are not guaranteed to keep working.

The binary will be located in target/release.

Usage

shell ./cuprite -i world plugins -m 128 -o backups -P password -p 25575 -c 3

Enable RCON

```

server.properties

enable-rcon=true rcon.password= rcon.port=<1-65535> broadcast-rcon-to-ops=false ```

Command line arguments

``` FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS: -c, --compression-level Compression level [default: 3] -i, --input-dirs ... Input directories (directories to backup) -m, --max-backups Maximum number of backups to keep [default: 128] -o, --output-dir Output directory -P, --password RCON password -p, --port RCON port [default: 25575] ```

Automating backups with CRON

It's a good idea to run cuprite on the terminal first to verify that you have inputted your arguments correctly before attempting to automate your backups with CRON.

• Edit the crontab with crontab -e
