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 “Create 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.
