Simple Backups in All the Mods 10

Simple Backups is a utility mod that creates scheduled backups of your world. It isn't something you craft or progress through. It just quietly protects your save while you build.^[1]

You decide how many backups the mod keeps. You can also set a maximum amount of storage for them. When the limit is reached, the oldest backup files are deleted, so your backups don't slowly fill the disk.^[1]

Who it is for

It's most useful if you run a server for friends. The mod can be used on the server alone, so it's a server-side safety net rather than something every player has to think about.^[1]

In this pack

The pack ships Simple Backups version 1.21-4.0.30. It was already part of the pack by version 2.25, so it's a long-standing inclusion.^[2]

The mod's license is Apache License 2.0, and its page says it may be put in any modpack.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't place Simple Backups anywhere in the pack's progression, and nothing shows it on the ATM Star path. They also show no quests or in-game guidebook for it, so treat it as a background tool rather than a progression step.

Good news: Simple Backups is a set-it-and-forget-it mod. Its job is to create scheduled backups of your world, so there is no long crafting chain to get through before it's useful.^[1]

What the mod does for you

• It creates backups on a schedule, so you don't have to remember to do it yourself.^[1]
• You can define how many backups should be kept.^[1]
• You can also define the maximum amount of storage the backups may use. When limits are reached, the oldest backup files are deleted first.^[1]

Your first steps

1. Install the mod on the server. It works server-side only, so players don't need to do anything on their end.^[1]
2. Decide how many backups you want to keep. More backups means more restore points to go back to.^[1]
3. Decide on a storage cap so backups never eat your whole disk. Because the oldest files are deleted first, you always keep the newest ones.^[1]

Unverified I couldn't confirm any craftable items, quests, in-game tooltips or config option names for this mod in this pack, so there are no recipes to show here. Check the mod's config file on your server to see the exact settings and defaults the pack uses for the schedule, backup count and storage limit.

Simple Backups doesn't add machines, multiblocks or anything that uses power, fluids or items. It's a utility mod whose only job is to create backups of your world on a schedule.^[1]

What it does

The mod creates scheduled backups for you. You can define how many backups should be kept, and you can also define the maximum amount of storage the backups may use. When those limits are reached, the oldest backup files are deleted first.^[1]

Server-side only

The mod can be used on a server only, so players don't need it installed on their own clients to join.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't say how to set the schedule, backup count or storage limit in this pack, what the exact option names are, or whether the pack changes any defaults. No config values or commands are confirmed here, so check the mod's own files on your server before relying on specific settings.

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships Simple Backups 1.21-4.0.30. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 2.25 or earlier, and the pack changelogs show it being updated regularly since then.^[2]

Here's every version bump I can confirm, oldest first. The pack changelogs only record the version change, so they don't say what each update changed inside the mod.^[3][4]

Unverified What actually changed in Simple Backups between these versions (new features, fixes or config changes) is unverified, because no mod changelogs are stored for the shipped jars.
