BtrBack

BtrBack is a Minecraft Java server plugin for making and restoring full-server backups with Btrfs snapshots. It stores backups locally, supports scheduled backups, and uses a custom retention policy. Operators install the plugin in the server’s plugins folder and use `/btrback [backup/rollback]` to create a backup or start a rollback. Normal backups appear in the `backupSnapshots` section of `backups.json`. Before a rollback, the plugin also snapshots the current server state and records it under `rollbackSnapshots`, outside the regular backup list. Restoring a backup reboots the server twice: once to restore the saved state and again to start normally. Setup requires placing the server directory in a Btrfs subvolume and mounting the root subvolume with `user_subvol_rm_allowed`. The public repository includes the Good Luck With That Public License, which permits copying, distribution, modification, merging, selling, publishing, and sublicensing at the user’s own risk. The repository page shows no releases and zero open issues. The listed plan is free at free.
