1/ local machine time or global (UTF/GMT)?
2/ no ways to change backup time?

1. The timezone of your server

If your time goes wrong, you can ajust it in the "cfg/sourcemod/sourcemod.cfg"

// Sets how many seconds SourceMod should adjust time values for incorrect 
// server clocks.  This can be positive or negative and will affect every 
// system time in SourceMod, including logging stamps.
// --
// Default: 0
sm_time_adjustment 0

2. Right, will add this

EDIT: DONE! You can now edit the time in the config!

Hello,

Nice plugin !!

exclude doesn't works :

backup_exclude "materials, models, logs, sounds, gfx, scripts, downloads, expressions, maps, reslists, resource, scenes"

We find all these files in the archive (20-01-2013--11-02-42.tar.gz\20-01-2013--11-02-42.tar\home\XXXX-XX\2047\halflife_source\left4dead2\left4dead2 \)...

but why compress .tar.gz then .tar (two archives in the same tree...)

would it be possible to add files to exclude (Example:. vpk,. rad. cached)?

for L4D2 server, you do not need to save everything, just the addons and cfg ...

and include the ability to remove the records of more than 7 days?

When the backup starts, it logs the command it starts. Can you please Post the full command?

To compress files with .gz and .tar is a linux standard.

Try to use *.vpk in the exclude list!

I use

backup_server

form Hlsw.

11:00:29 [server_backup.smx] Start Server Backup with: tar zcvf /home/XXXX-XX/2047/halflife_source/left4dead2/left4dead2/server_backup/20-01-2013--11-02-42.tar.gz --exclude=. --exclude=.. --exclude=server_backup "/home/be22-jsi/2047/halflife_source/left4dead2/left4dead2/"

Result in log :

L 01/20/2013 - 11:02:45: [server_backup.smx] Server Backup Finished: server_backup/20-01-2013--11-02-42.tar.gz - 23431456 bytes

ok thanks

Try to use *.vpk in the exclude list!

but certainly if it does not work with the folders, I doubt it will work with a file

Not when the command is finish, when you start the command, there is also a message!

I edited before you answer ;)

Are you sure you reload the plugin, or changed the map or restarted your server, after you edited the config?
