Allow Users to Schedule Backups

Please allow users to create scheduled backups from the server schedule system. Problem Users can schedule commands, power actions, and other server tasks, but there does not appear to be an option to schedule a user backup. Automatic system backups are useful, but they may not run at the time most appropriate for the server owner. Users may want backups to run before updates, restarts, maintenance, world resets, or other scheduled operations. Suggested Implementation Add a β€œCreate Backup” action to server schedules. Possible options could include: Backup name Whether the backup should be locked Ignored files and directories Maximum number of scheduled backups to retain Whether the schedule should continue when the backup fails Example Use Cases Create a backup every night before the scheduled restart Create a backup before running an update script Create a weekly long-term backup Back up the server before an automated world reset Retain only the latest few scheduled backups Benefits This would give server owners more control over backup timing and reduce the need to manually create backups.

Add β€œIgnored Files & Directories” to Server Backups

Please add an β€œIgnored Files & Directories” setting for manual and scheduled server backups. The standard Pterodactyl backup interface allows users to specify files and directories that should not be included in a backup. This option is currently missing from the UltraServers panel. Problem Minecraft servers can contain large amounts of temporary or reproducible data that do not need to be backed up, such as: Resource or pregenerated worlds Plugin cache directories Temporary files Logs Plugin-generated data that can be recreated Large files that are not required for server restoration Without exclusion rules, every backup includes this unnecessary data. This increases backup size, takes longer to upload and restore, and consumes more storage on the host. Suggested Implementation Add an β€œIgnored Files & Directories” field to the backup creation and scheduling interface. The field could accept one file or directory pattern per line, using the same exclusion format supported by Pterodactyl. Example: cache/ logs/ plugins/Chunky/temp/ resource_world/ *.tmp Benefits This feature would: Reduce backup storage usage Make backups faster Make restores faster Avoid repeatedly storing temporary or reproducible data Give users greater control over what their backups contain
