Minecraft Alpha Server Backup Utility. ( Should work with Single Player too if you wanted )

Latest Version 3.1 here:

http://www.gamercide...ckuppackage.zip

Important, Please read!

V3.1 has adopted the Direct to Tile version of Overviewer. Support for older versions have been dropped though they can still be used. If you wish to keep the older versions you will need to rename gmap.py or gmap.exe to overviewer.py or overviewer.exe . You will then need to change the overviewer options to comply with the older version. I highly suggest updating to the DTT version as it is much faster and doesn't require the first caching stage. It also allows you to render more than one mode at a time. Refer to the settings for more information. There is now an Overviewer OPTIONS setting allowing you to customize the commands. Finally, support for sessions in WinSCP has been added. This is only necessary if you are Backing up from a Remote Server who's timezone is different from yours.

V3.0 Supports Backing up Remote servers. Do you have a server host such as xenonservers.com with no way to backup your files or run mapping software? Now you can. Simply follow the directions below and the script will connect to your server via FTP, download the files and then run the backup and mapping process like you were running the server on your own machine. Not the best solution, but it's better than nothing. If using this for remote server backup, saveall should be disabled and an alternative method such as SimpleCronClone should be used.

Cartograph maps working with new Region as of v2.8 . You must update to the new Cartograph G found here:

http://www.minecraft...it=Cartograph+G

New Feature! Option to backup entire Minecraft Server directory, and the option to upload backup to remote FTP.

I took MonkeyDKS' autobackup script and modified it heavily to add new features, options, and Easy integration for any windows based Minecraft server.

The original by MonkeyDKS can be found here:

    Main Purposes:
    Full Backups:
  • Copies the world directory of your Minecraft Server and Server files to a temp directory and compresses it using 7-zip or winrar (your choice) to a time stamped archive. Temp directory is then Deleted
    Incremental Backups:
  • Copies the world directory of your Minecraft Server and Server files to a cache directory.
  • Compresses (7-zip required) one Master file that is then used for incremental backups.
  • Each initial run of the Script creates a dated folder to store a 'Master'
  • Following Passes copy only changed files to cache directory.
  • Updated Cache files are compressed and added to a separate dated/numbered archive in dated folder where master is contained.
  • If restored backup detected, the cache is deleted and updated. A new dated folder will then be made.
  • Restore Script included to making restoring to any backup time/date easy as entering a few paths.
    Options:
  • Option to connect to remote game host via ftp and download the server. Then regular backup/mapping is performed.
  • Option to use Cartograph G to create world images of each backup.
  • Option to use included VBS Script to force server to save-all before backup.
  • Option to use Brownan's Minecraft-Overviewer for very high quality zoom-able image of world.
  • Option to use WinSCP to upload Overviewer map to remote webserver via FTP
  • Option to Backup ENTIRE Minecraft Server directory or exclude certain files
  • Option to upload backup to remote FTP
    Required Applications:
  • rar.exe from winrar or 7z.exe from 7-zip (7-zip REQUIRED for Incremental Backups)
    7-zip is open source and can be found here:
    http://www.7-zip.org/
    Optional Applications:
  • Cartograph G if wanting the world image feature.
  • MS Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) if using Cartograph G
    Both can be found here:
    http://www.minecraft...it=Cartograph+G
  • Overviewer if wanting very zoom-able HQ map of world. http://github.com/br...raft-Overviewer
  • Overviewer example: http://minecraft.map.gamercide.org/
  • WinSCP for Remote server retrieval, FTP Backup, and FTP upload of Overviewer http://winscp.net
  • Sleep.exe for timer. Not required but it is an option if not wanting to use ping for timing
    Found here:
    http://www.computerhope.com/dutil.htm
  • Included VBS Script if you want to use the forced server save-all

Full or incremental backups?

Full backups will copy your entire minecraft world to a temporary directory and fully compress it EVERY time the backup runs.

Incremental backups will copy the world the first time and compress to a cache directory. A folder is created every time on the initial run of the backup with a master 7z (full initial backup) . Each pass of the backup then creates compressed archives with ONLY the updated/changed portions of the world. This makes the backup process MUCH faster and takes far less overall space. The down side is the files are dependent on each other. You CANNOT delete certain backups in the folder or you risk losing parts of the world on restore. Folders however are not dependent on one another.

The other thing you MUST watch for is manually changing the world directory. If you modify it to older files etc then you should delete the cache before running the backup script again. Backups created with the incremental backup script will place a folder in the world directory that is checked for. If found the script will automatically clear the cache for you. You should only need to clear the cache if you change something manually or roll back to a backup not created with the incremental backup script.

Installation Instructions:

Download batch and vbs script from here:

http://www.gamercide...ckuppackage.zip

Or copy the script from the bottom of this post and enter into your own batch and vbs files.

Extract the Files to wherever you wish to keep them.

Next open the batch file with a txt editor and scroll to the User Variables section.

Each option has instructions above it. Basically you set the path to the files and whether or not you want to use the included options or not.

::-------End Overviewer Map FTP Options-----::

If performing a REMOTE Server Backup Make sure the variable GetRemoteServerFiles is set to yes and all the Retrieve Server Files from FTP Options have been properly set. Also, make sure WinSCP is installed and the path is set in your variables.

Also, you will not use the VBS Script when backing up a remote server because it will have no effect. Instead you will want to install SimpleCronClone and using the two scripts I included have it run save-all every X minutes. You will want to force your server to save a few minutes more often then you backup. So, if you are backing up every 10 minutes, then force save every 7. It's not the best solution, but the only one available for remote backup atm.

Now, if performing full backups:

Be sure you have changed the UseIncr variable to no in the User Variables section.

If using WinRAR:

Place rar.exe (found in the winrar install directory) into the folder you set as your BackupDIR. WinRAR is required to be in the backup directory. If not found the batch file will notify you. You will need to place it in the directory and then restart.

If using 7zip:

You should have set the path to 7z.exe in the User variables directory. If not found you will be notified and the script will end. Set the correct path and restart.

If performing Incremental backups:

You should set the path to 7z.exe in the User variables section. 7-zip is the only method supported for incremental backups. It is freely available @ http://www.7-zip.org/ .

If not using Overviewer, Cartograph or the VBS Script to force save before backup then you are good to go and can execute the backup. It will run the backup every X minutes depending on your settings.

If using Overviewer: Install Overviewer and change the appropriate options in the batch file. Same goes for FTP upload.

If using Cartograph G: you simply have to download it and place it in the directory you choose and change the appropriate options in the batch file.

To use the VBS Script: you have to go a little more in depth. First you need to find the window name of your minecraft server. The default if using the GUI is Minecraft Server .

If different from Minecraft Server then open the saveall.vbs with a text editor and enter the name of your server window bewtween the quotes.

example:

'Enter the name of your Server Window Here bewteen the apostrophies
T1 = "My New Window Name goes here"

Save the file and then follow these next instructions carefully. If using the GUI, the command line box must be selected and ready for txt imput BEFORE navigating away from it.

If using gui or just command prompt avoid opening any other windows with the same name. GUI and command line name sharing is fine because the command can be entered into either one. Neither window has to stay in focus, but the GUI MUST have the command line box in focus before navigating away from it to work.

Once the vbs is setup correctly, simple edit the appropriate options in the batch file for using it.

Run the backup and enjoy!

Note, Cartographer, Overviewer, FTP, and forced save-all are OPTIONAL. This can be used as a simple archived backup just by turning those options off.

Included in the package is the MCRestore.bat to easily restore incremental backups. Use this when needing to restore a backup created incrementally. It is very self explanatory. You can run it without modifying the batch, but there are a few paths you may want to set so you don't have to enter them everytime.

DO NOT delete individual incremental backup files. They are dependent on one another so all files in the created folder are necessary.

::V1.0-This backup utility prefers you have Sleep EXE available at this website--------::
::----http://www.computerhope.com/dutil.htm - However, this is not a necessary file.---::
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------::
::----Either winrar or 7-zip archiving files - 7z.exe or rar.exe are required!---------::
::----Place either 7z.exe or rar.exe In the Backup Directory That you set below.-------::
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------::
::----7zip is a free utility found here - http://www.7-zip.org/ -----------------------::
::----The 7z.exe will be located in the directory you installed 7-zip to.--------------::
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------::

::V1.1-Added ability to use Cartographer to generate map images for each backup--------::
::----Cartographer can be found here:--------------------------------------------------::
::----http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=13134-------------------------::
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------::

::V1.2-Added VBS Script file to force save-all before backup---------------------------::
::----VBS Script can be downloaded @ http://www.dateranoth.com/gamercide/saveall.zip----::
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------::

::V1.3-Added delay before execution of Cartograph do to lock ups when starting too fast::
::----Added check for temporary folder before backup starts. Will remove the folder----::
::----if found in case of mid backup crashes, etc.-------------------------------------::
::----Fixed comment lines and added comments to each section. Changed some formatting--::
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------::

::V1.4-Added check for temporary file that was locking up Cartograph-------------------::
::----If found, deletes tmp file before running Cartograph-----------------------------::
::----Previous timer for Cartograph reduced. Lock ups were probably the temp file the--::
::----entire time. Timer left in for a just in case measure---------------------------::
::----Added line in Variable to change the map type that Cartograph creates------------::
::----Will need to refer to Cartograph Readme.txt for options otherwise set to normal--::
::-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------::

::V1.5-Added Minecraft Overviewer Option for mapping-----------------------------------::
::----Edited by instinx - smithtec(AT)gmail.com----------------------------------------::
::----October 6th, 2010 - Added Option for using Minecraft Overviewer------------------::
::----http://github.com/brownan/Minecraft-Overviewer-----------------------------------::

::V1.6-Cleaned up a lot of code. Added option to only run Overviewer after a certain----::
::-----amount of time. Instructions for Overviewer found in User Variables-------------::

::V1.7-Added ability to use WinSCP FTP to upload Overviewer map to remote website-------::
::-----Runs a Synchronize command so only files that have changed will be uploaded------::
::-----Also cleaned up some more code and rearranged User Variables.--------------------::
::-----Download WinSCP Here: http://winscp.net : Required for FTP Upload but Free App---::

::V1.8-MAJOR UPDATE! Added option to use Incremental Updates. Incremental updates-----::
::-----greatly reduce total backup time and space. Incremental updates store one master::
::-----backup file in a dated directory. Then dated incremental updates of only changes::
::-----are produced on the next backup run. The very first run will create Cache files-::
::-----of both the world directory and the compressed backup in your backup directory.--::
::-----They will be used to produce incremental updates without recopying the full world::
::-----directory or recompressing the full directory. They will only be deleted if the-::
::-----backup script detectes a restored backup. This is done by a folder named--------::
::-----_IncrBackupRestored being created in the archives. If you restore a backup it----::
::-----will be placed in your world folder so the backup script will know to purge the--::
::-----cache. Otherwise you can manually delete the files in IncrBackupCache to force--::
::-----what is basically a full backup to be done. I'm working on a simple restore-----::
::-----script, but for now you must first extract the IncrMaster_Worldname.7z and then--::
::-----extract, in order overwriting existing files the incr_# until you get to the time::
::-----you wish to restore. Everytime you restart the script or restore a backup a new-::
::-----dated folder is created with a new master and it's own set of incremental backups::
::-----**************************IMPORTANT READ BELOW****************************-------::
::-----WinRAR is NOT SUPPORTED FOR INCREMENTAL BACKUPS. You must use the 7-zip method.-::
::-----With the addition of Incremental backup 7z.exe is no longer REQUIRED to be in----::
::-----the backup directory, but there now is an option to set the path to the exe------::
::-----This must be set for either FULL or INCREMENTAL backups to work------------------::
::-----**************************************************************************-------::
::-----Additionally I added the option to change how often Cartograph runs, and---------::
::-----rearranged some of the code for a smoother script. Along with modifications to---::
::-----check for winrar methods and notify user that Incremental backups are not--------::
::-----Supported for WinRAR. 7-ZIP is a free program so RAR support seemed uneccessary-::

::V1.9-Name Changed from SMPBackup to MCBackup. The backup package now includes a------::
::-----script to easily and quickly restore backups. Refer to it for directions.-------::
::-----http://www.dateranoth.com/gamercide/MCRestore.zip--------------------------------::

::V2.0-Modified the way batch captures time/date from system. Added the ability to-----::
::-----change the date format. Refer to User Variables for more information------------::

::V2.1-Added a max incremental count. This counter will create X number of incremental-::
::-----backups before starting a new folder and master file. This is so users who use--::
::-----regular incremental backups can create a new master folder daily or whenever.----::
::-----Which will in turn make restoring much easier and faster. If you do not wish to--::
::-----use the feature then set it to a very high number. ie. 9999999-------------------::

::V2.2-Added option to change ftp protocol when uploading Overviewer map----------------::
::-----Also, note that yes/no variables are case sensitive. They need to be lowercase---::

::V2.3-Added option to set ftp open Switches. Useful for enabling -passive mode in ftp--::
::-----Also made yes/no variables case insensitive. Case no longer matters.------------::

::V2.4-Added double quotes around FTP usernames and passwords. Common @ symbols in-----::
::-----user names were messing up the script. Should work with these now. Added option-::
::-----to wait for X seconds before running backup after server save-all. This will-----::
::-----make sure servers with lots of changes have time to finish saving before the-----::
::-----files are copied and compressed.-------------------------------------------------::

::V2.5-Added backup of Minecraft Server directory files. Only the files, and not the---::
::-----directories in your Server Directory will be copied into the backup world in a---::
::-----folder call _ServerFiles. This way you will have the configs if you have a crash::
::-----or need to restore when using mods/etc. There is also the option to use an------::
::-----exclude file. This file contains files or filetypes (one per line) that you-----::
::-----don't wish to have backed up. I have included a default one that skips .jar .bat::
::-----and .vbs. You can choose to use it or not. Default is to back up all files.----::

::V2.6-Added backup of entire Minecraft Server Directory. Refer to Variables below for -::
::-----options an instructions. Also added option to upload backups to FTP directory.--::
::-----These have been completely seperated in case overviewer and your other backups---::
::-----reside one two different servers. Refer to the variables for instructions.------::

::V2.7-Fixed Incremental FTP uploads. The ftp folder is now successfully created.------::
::-----Allowing ftp backup to work as it should for incremental backups. Also fixed----::
::-----remote backup directory option. Wasn't placing backup in correct directory.-----::
::-----If using FTP upload of backup, incremental backups with a very large max is------::
::-----recommended. This way the first backup will be large and take time uploading----::
::-----but the following incremental backups will be much smaller and save time and-----::
::-----bandwidth.-----------------------------------------------------------------------::

::V2.8-Updated saveall.vbs to V1.2 - Condensed Keystroke Commands & Added Server--------::
::-----Backup notification. Download at www.gamercide.org/minecraft/MCBackup/saveall.zip::
::-----Change Cartograph to Cartograph G to support the new save format. Can be found at::
::-----http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1022&t=165779&hilit=Cartograph+G --::
::-----Please refer to Readme.txt included with Cartograph G for map render settings----::
::-----Added option to change output directory of the Cart maps. Default is BackupDIR---::

::V2.9-Updated Incremental backup code for 7zip. It should have been placing the-------::
::-----temporary file when updating the backup in the same directory but it wasn't.-----::
::-----Added command line to force temp files to goto backup directory so people running::
::-----on RAMDisks or low disk space won't encounter errors.----------------------------::
::-----INFORMATION UPDATE: PLEASE READ: Regards Backuping up Entire Server and Python---::
::-----If backing up your entire server directory you CANNOT place the backup location--::
::-----inside your Server Directory. This creates a loop that xcopy won't allow and----::
::-----thus fails to create the backup.-------------------------------------------------::
::-----Second, if you use overviewer and Python you MUST have your Python Directory in--::
::-----your windows PATH environment. Instructions can be found here:------------------::

::V3.0-Now supporting retrieval and backup of a remote server via ftp. If you are------::
::-----using a server host such as xenonservers.com and you need a way to backup your---::
::-----server and run the mapping tools you now have a solution. As long as you have a-::
::-----machine that can run this script you can pull the remote server files, via ftp---::
::-----run the backup and mapping, and upload the map to the webserver. The process----::
::-----treats the remote files just like you were hosting it locally and supports all---::
::-----features EXCEPT save-all. You will need to run a plugin such as SimpleCronClone-::
::-----to force save-all ever X minutes ahead of when this script is going to run-------::
::-----My latest release will include the two .scc scripts needed to do this. You will-::
::-----need to download and install the plugin however.---------------------------------::
::-----The option to do remote retrieval can be found under FTP Options-----------------::
::-----The only other change is that the xcopy exclude file MUST have the full path-----::
::-----if being used. Example below.---------------------------------------------------::

::V3.1-The older versions of Overviewer have been dropped. Only the Direct to Tile-----::
::-----version is supported now. It can be found at the link below---------------------::
::-----https://github.com/brownan/Minecraft-Overviewer/tree/dtt-c-render----------------::
::-----If you are using an older version of Overviewer it will still work but you'll----::
::-----need to change gmap.py or gmap.exe to overviewer.py or overviewer.exe.-----------::
::-----You will also have to change the OVWROPTION sections below to comply with the old::
::-----Overviewer settings.-------------------------------------------------------------::
::-----Finally, I have added an option to the Remote Server Download. This option------::
::-----will allow you to open sessions saved in WinSCP, which is useful for syncing the-::
::-----server time zone with your local computer. If you do not then the files will not-::
::-----sync properly. Refer to the WinSCP website for instructions on the time offset.-::

Love being a Comp Sci major and understanding what's going in code now instead of being 'wtf.' That's pretty cool stuff. I'm not into Minecraft, but my roommates are so I might get them to sign up here and join in on the fun.

lol. I'm glad you can appreciate my hacked together batch code. I normally don't know whats going on either. What took me hours to make a good programmer could have done in probably no time at all. haha, I'm always learning as I go as it's not my chosen profession.

You should certainly get your friends signed up here. We can get them going on the Alpha server if they'd like. Though we are still waiting for the inventory to be fixed.

I'm not a "good programmer" by any means since I'm only a sophomore in this field, but that might take me about 30-45 minutes to come up with since it's basic executions. What programming languages do you know? I only know Java, Python, a hell of a lot of C, quite a bit of C++, and some C#. If you want to take this to PMs then feel free to so I don't derail the thread.

lol. No derailing here. I doubt I'll see many posters in this thread.

Honestly, I don't "know" any. I use my basic understanding of how programming works and the internet to find examples and make what I need. That's why it takes so long. I usually know what I can do with a program but not the exact commands to call. I've scripted in games such as morrowind and oblivion. Done a little java for my website etc, and a fair amount of PHP. Haven't really gotten into any of the C languages and never messed with Python at all. Most of my programming needs are minor and only needed when I really want something. Like the batch file above. Very simple once I knew what I needed, but it took a while to figure out the commands. Even remembering the compression commands for rar.exe and 7z.exe. Finding the date formats and the correct format for IF statements. I KNOW the basics and what should work, but I'm always having to look up the correct syntax. lol, I don't do any of it nearly enough to remember them.

I think PHP and java would be most useful to me, and I'd like to learn PHP. However, I've studied and went pretty far into PHP, but since I rarely use it I just keep forgetting it.

PS

I forgot quotes around my worldnamdate and realized now that it wasn't time stamping files in the am. Also had an extra L being called by the VBS script. Fixed it.

New updates:

Added delay before Cartograph starts. Was freezing up when it started too soon after the files were compressed.

Added proper comment lines and new ones.

Updated VBS Script to bring window into focus first. Was sometimes missing the first letter when trying to save all.

All files and scripts updated in OP.

V1.4

Added check for temporary file that was locking up Cartograph. If found, deletes tmp file before running Cartograph

Previous timer for Cartograph reduced. Lock ups were probably the temp file the entire time. Timer left in for a just in case measure.

Added line in Variable to change the map type that Cartograph creates. Will need to refer to Cartograph Readme.txt for options otherwise set to normal.

All files and scripts updated in OP.

Hey, thanks for the script, it's really useful. Got one question however. Whenever I close the MCBackup.bat and run it again, it rewrites every file to the server again. Why is that? I thought by checking it would realise they're the same, obviously not. Is there a setting that prevents this? I've got incremental backps set to on already.

And adding an option for the type of FTP protocol might not be a bad idea, I had to go through the code after I found out SFTP doesn't seem to work on my server.

Thanks for posting. Can you clarify what the backup is doing? Incr backups create a new folder every new run but it shouldnt recopy everything or take a long time unless you cleared the cache or restored a backup.

The ftp portion only uploads overviewer files atm. The process takes a long time because it compares every local file with the remote ones. It should only upload the changed ones.

. Ill look into a protocol option and the option to upload actual backups today.

Nevermind, I made it log the transfers and it was only uploading tiles with later dates. I didn't realise it needed to do so many though.

Yeah, it does take a lot of tiles. I can't think of any better way to do it since you want it only upload new files. No matter how I change it it has to compare every local file to every remote file. I'm still going to look into adding ftp upload of the world backups and an option to change the protocol.

The first part looks like the VBS file is not in the directory you have it pointed to. Check C:\Minecraft_Server and make sure the .vbs file is in there.

The overviewer not running could be a number of things. If you're not using the EXE version then you must have the python executable in your windows PATH variable. I"ll add the option to set the directory in the next patch. I'm not 100% sure that's your problem though. Download this:

http://www.dateranoth.com/gamercide/MCDebug.zip

and remove the @ECHO OFF line from the top of the backup script. Place MCDebug.bat in the same directory as MCBackup.bat and run MCDebug. It should output a dated log file. Open it and XXXX out any passwords it may log, and then upload it here. I'll take a look at it and see what the issue is. If it is just the path to Python you can scroll down to this line:

Python gmap.py --cachedir="%OVWRCACHEDIR%" -p "%Procs%" "%TempWorldDir%" "%OVWROUTDIR%"

and place your path in front of Python. ie:

C:\mypythondirectory\Python "%OVWRDIR%\gmap.py" --cachedir="%OVWRCACHEDIR%" -p "%Procs%" "%TempWorldDir%" "%OVWROUTDIR%"

Is there suppose to be a visual thing that happens when Overviewer starts? Or is it all in the background?

I realized my problem with the save-all, I was dumb and didn't put the VBS into my Minecraft folder.

However it still just goes through the saving incremental, and then says Everything is OK, then starts its backup schedule. I have run when batch is started set to "1", I also modified the batch to point to my Python folder. C:\Python27

*UPDATE*

So I tried running Overviewer manually, and it gives me

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]

Copyright © 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

E:\Overviewer>python gmap.py c:\Users\Administrator\Minecraft\World1 e:\Overviewer\Current Map

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

c:\python27\python: can't open file 'e:\Overviewer\gmap.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I got a feeling this is happening due to the fact I am trying to do all this stuff on seperate drives. C: is for running MC, D: is for full backups, E: is for running Overviewer.

Hmm, gives me the same issue even with Overview on the C Drive

The last thing you listed should work. Here are the things you need to look for. In E:\Overviewer do you have a gmap.py file? If not then is it an EXE? If it's an exe you need to change to the exe method. If neither gmap.py or an exe is in the directory then you either A.) Don't have it extracted properly or B:)Are pointing to the wrong directory. ( maybe it's in a a subdirectory? )

Let me know if it's either of the above issues is the cause. The backup batch itself seems to be doing what it's suppose to. It just can't find the file it needs to execute Overviewer.

It is an .exe, but for some reason when I ran the map the first time I downloaded gmap.py worked...

I am just a moron I guess. I will change it and get back to yo.

Oh and quick question:

::Set your REMOTE ftp directory for Overviewer. Should be base directory containing index.html. (Full Remote Path)

That is for the website side correct?

This is what Win SCP looks like when I log in, is the remote directory just "/root"?

Yes, that's for uploading the Overviewer map to a website. If you don't need it, just change the ftp option to no. If the Overviewer file is an exe, then changing the Overviewer type back to exe should fix the problem for sure.

::Which method of Overviewer? Windows Executable or Python Script? (exe or python)

SET OVWRmethod=exe

My next update should have an option to upload the backups to ftp as well. Let me know if the exe method doesn't fix your problem. Hope you enjoy the utility.
