Yes, restart server after editing config

[dordnung]

Very strange, i will take a look at it

[eric0279]

I just redo the test:

added *.vpk and *.cache and *.rad the exclusion list,
restarting the server,
executing the command >> backup_server

HLSW:

To know that my GSP uses a lightweight package for these servers (symlink files) which may be the problem?

I'll test it on a virtual machine to see the result.

Why do you have server_backup.cfg in the first line of your config ?!

[eric0279]

The same problem locally so it is not my fault GSP.


Error copy / paste simply by writing in the config file, it is not there!

Will add a new version soon, maybe it's working then for you. But for me it's working right now too^^

UPDATE

• 1.02
  - Using now AutoExecConfig
  - Added cvar backup_add, where you can define folders/files you only want to backup
  - Added cvar backup_mode, where you can define the compress mode
  - Changed default cvar of backup_exclude

[eric0279]

Thanks for update.

I completely deleted the plugin and the configuration file before testing your new version and restart the server.

server_backup.cfg :

// Here you can define the folders/files you only want to backup, if you set here something, only these folders/files will be backuped. Seperate with commas!
// -
// Default: ""
backup_add ""

// Here you can define the folders you want to exclude. Seperate with commas! Empty to backup hole gamedir
// -
// Default: "materials, models, scripts, downloads, *.vpk"
backup_exclude "materials, models, sounds, scripts, downloads, *.vpk, *.ekv, *.scr"

// The compress mode you want to use. 0=tar.bz2, 1=tar.gz, 2=tar
// -
// Default: "0"
backup_mode "0"

// Hour to start backup, 24 hour format (0-23)!
// -
// Default: "05"
backup_hour "05"

// Minute to start backup (0-59)
// -
// Default: "00"
backup_min "00"

restart server
executing the command >> backup_server

Extract archive and same problem...


Too bad, I liked the plugin.

I hope for others, it will work ^^

Try to edit the mode, and see, whether the extension of the compress file is different, because i think it's a problem with your server. I tried it on more than one server and it worked fine.


If mode also doesn't work, tell me your server provider.

Edit:

Can you please upload your config here?

What exactly is the advantage/purpose of this aside from just using a scheduled task to backup/compress the files, or kill the server's process and clean out old files and then perform said functions?
