In their own words
BackupMod
BackupMod is a free, self-hosted Minecraft server mod for creating and restoring automatic or manual backups. Administrators can schedule several backups each day, check the time until the next run, and set a retention limit that removes the oldest files automatically. Backups can be named, renamed, listed, deleted, or restored by name or as the latest backup. Restoring a selected backup disconnects all players and stops the server. Files and folders can be excluded and later included again. An upload command downloads a ZIP from a direct URL, but Google Drive links do not work. Commands are limited to server operators or authorized players, with normal and detailed logging options. Backups stay in the server’s local backups/ folder. Installation uses the server’s mods folder; Modrinth lists Fabric, dedicated servers, and Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.8–1.21.10.
