FastBack

Fast, incremental Minecraft world backups powered by Git

Fastback is a Minecraft mod that backs up your world in incremental snapshots. When it does a backup, it only saves the parts of your world that changed.

This means backups are fast. It also means you can keep snapshots of your world without using up a lot of disk space.

Features

• Incrementally backup just the changed files
• Faster, smaller backups than zipping
• Back up locally
• Back up remotely to any git server
• Back up remotely to any network volume (no git server required)
• Schedule backups to run automatically
• Easily restore backup snapshots
• Snapshot pruning, retention policies
• Include mod jars and config files in backup snapshots
• Broadcast server-wide notifications during backups
• LuckPerms support
• Works on clients and dedicated servers
• Works on Linux, Mac and Windows
• ..all with easy-to-use minecraft commands

Road Map

• Support for restoring remote snapshots
• Better management of remote snapshots
• UI for managing backups from the title screen
• Forge support (maybe)
