Getting started

A project to help schedule backups for google drive and also to automatically turn off/on the PocketMine-MP server when backing up.

Features

• Schedule automatic backups
• Backup by Google Drive

Installation

1. Clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/BlockMagicDev/AutoBackup

2. Config Command/Task File

You go to the folder cloned in step 1, select the Scheduler folder, open each file in that folder and change USERNAME to the name of your computer, Path to the path to the Scheduler folder of the AutoBackup repository.

TIP: If you want to automatically turn on/off the PocketMine-MP server you need to similarly edit all the files contained in the Command folder.

3. Import backup file to Task Scheduler

taskschd.msc

Once you have opened the Task Scheduler with the above command, import all the task files located in the Scheduler folder you just edited in step 2.

4. Download google drive and 7Zip

• Download Google Drive

You can download the GoogleDrive.exe file for Windows here

Once you have downloaded and installed google drive, log in to your account if you already have an account or create a new one!

• Download 7Zip

You can download the 7Zip.exe file for Windows here

5. Make Backup Folder

You create a folder with the name Backups and BackupData in the AutoBackup repository.

cd AutoBackup
mkdir Backups
mkdir BackupData

The BackupData folder will contain the files that you need to backup to google drive

6. Complete

Open Google Drive > Settings > Preferences > Choose My Computer > Add Folder and select the BackupData folder created in step 5.

How it works?

When the backup time is scheduled at Task Scheduler. first, windows will open Google Drive and execute delzip.bat in Command folder (if you have extra setup for PocketMine-MP it will do stop_server.bat before delzip.bat), then it do file compression present in the BackupData folder and go to the Backups folder then Google Drive will automatically download the compressed file located in the Backups folder, when the upload is finished windows will automatically shut down Google Drive (if you have extra setup for PocketMine-MP it will automatically open start_server.bat)
