ServerBackUpTool

ServerBackUpTool is a utility for creating hourly backups of Me and my friends Minecraft server(Can work on other games too). It ensures that the latest backups are available and maintains a clean backup directory by keeping only the most recent backups. Additionally, it stores a daily backup of the last backup of each day.

Features

• Hourly Backups: Creates a backup every hour.
• Daily Backups: Moves the last backup of each day to a separate daily backup folder.
• Retention Policy: Keeps hourly backups for the last 48 hours and daily backups indefinitely.

Usage

1. Update the source and backup directory paths in the BackupManager class constructor in Program.cs:

   BackupManager backupManager = new BackupManager(
       sourceDir: @"C:\Server\Minecraft",
       backupDir: @"C:\Server\MC backup",
       logDir: @"C:\Server\MC backup\logs",
       dailyBackupDir: @"C:\Server\MC backup\daily"
   );

Directory Structure

• sourceDir: The directory containing the Minecraft server files.
• backupDir: The directory where hourly backups are stored.
• logDir: The directory where log files are stored.
• dailyBackupDir: The directory where daily backups are stored.

How It Works

1. Hourly Backups: The tool uses a timer to trigger a backup every hour. The backups are stored as ZIP files in the backupDir.
2. Daily Backups: At 11 PM each day, the tool moves the last backup of the day to the dailyBackupDir.
3. Retention Policy: The tool ensures that only the last 48 hourly backups are kept in the backupDir by deleting older backups.

Logging

Each backup operation logs its activity to a log file in the logDir. The log file name includes the timestamp of the backup operation.
