Plans
In their own words
DriveBackupV2
DriveBackupV2 is a free, self-hosted Minecraft server plugin that creates remote backups of server data. It can include files and folders on a Minecraft server, remote SFTP sources, and MySQL databases. Destinations include Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, SFTP, FTP, and S3-compatible storage. Backups run at a chosen interval or custom schedule; after basic setup, the default is hourly. Retention settings can delete older local and remote backups after a specified count, while local-keep-count controls how many remain locally and supports -1 for unlimited. The plugin runs on Bukkit-powered servers such as Spigot, Paper, and Purpur, with listed requirements of Java 8 or higher and Minecraft 1.8 through 1.21.X. The project says Google Drive and OneDrive data remains on the Minecraft server and is inaccessible to its makers. The repository is public under an MIT license, with support through Discord or issues.
