In their own words
Just Enough Backups
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.
