☁️ Automated Backups to Google Drive

For automated, scheduled backups to your Google Drive, you can use the DriveBackupV2 plugin. This plugin allows your server to back up data to cloud storage services like Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox.

🔌 Setting Up DriveBackupV2

  1. Download the Plugin:
  2. Install the Plugin:
    • Upload the DriveBackupV2.jar file to your server’s plugins directory.
    • Restart your server to generate the plugin’s configuration files.
  3. Link Your Google Drive Account:
    • In-game or via the server console, run the command: /drivebackup linkaccount googledrive
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to authorize the plugin to access your Google Drive.
  4. Configure Backup Settings:
    • Edit the config.yml file located in the DriveBackupV2 folder.
    • Set your desired backup intervals, retention policies, and specify which files or folders to include in the backups.

Once configured, DriveBackupV2 will automatically create backups at the specified intervals and upload them to your Google Drive account.

🔒 Note: Ensure that your Google Drive account has sufficient storage space to accommodate the backups.
