==mc_pybackup==

A simple compression script for backing up Minecraft worlds that should work for backing up any other folder.

Usage:

• Modify WORLDS array in mcbackup.py to include any folders that you want to back up
• Set MIN_BACKUP_INTERVAL in mcbackup.py if you want to limit how often backups are created
• Backups will be created no more often than MIN_BACKUP_INTERVAL, i.e. setting it to 6 * HOURS will limit the script to 4 backups per day
• MIN_BACKUP_INTERVAL has no effect if it is set shorter than how often the script is run.
• Run mcbackup.py to create backups
• Backups are compressed as .zip for portability
• mcbackup won't make a new backup if the original file hasn't been modified since the last backup. This saves a LOT of space if the folder isn't constantly being modified.
• Suggested: set up cron or Windows Scheduler to run your script. The included .bat file will work with Windows Scheduler.
• By default, backups will be stored in a folder named with the two bottom-most folders where your target is
• In the default setup, this backups for [..]/EthosLPPackserver/world2 will be stored in ./EthosLPPackserver-world2/
• This can be changed manually by changing the function make_backup_dir
