FolderRewind vs Just Enough Backups

FolderRewind is a free Windows application for backing up and restoring files, project data, and game saves. It offers full, smart incremental, and overwrite backups using 7-Zip, with 7z and zip compression and configurable levels, methods, and thread counts. The home page says encrypted backups use AES-256. Automation can run at intervals, on a schedule, at startup, for selected targets, or when conditions are met. FolderRewind uses rclone to transfer local backup chains to cloud storage as an extra redundancy layer; its guide demonstrates OneDrive setup and mentions WebDAV bridges such as OpenList. The official MineRewind extension adds Minecraft save discovery, hot backup and restore, hotkeys, and coordination with the current world. Restoring partial backups forces Overwrite and disables Clean to prevent removing files outside the backup scope. Requirements are Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11, on x64 or ARM64. The maker recommends Microsoft Store; MSI is marked beta and MSIX is offered for advanced sideloading.

Just Enough Backups is a Fabric mod for Java Edition Minecraft that manages server-side world backups through an in-game browser. It supports full, partial, and differential backups, with separate automatic schedules for each type and options to run on server start or stop. The browser can create, rename, delete, restore, search, and filter backups. It prepares restores asynchronously; the server then shuts down so the restore can be applied safely at the next startup.

Retention settings can keep a chosen number of each backup type and optionally cap total backup size per world. Before a backup, the mod checks destination free space and aborts unless it meets twice the current world size plus the configured reserve. Configurable multiple worker threads handle world scanning, ZIP compression, and restore extraction. Mod Menu integration is optional. Dedicated-server settings must be edited in the server configuration file; the client config screen covers only HUD and preview settings. It is free under the MIT License and lists Linux, macOS, and Windows support.
