Fast Backups Mod FAQ

Open the mod's backup menu (default keybind varies by installation) and select 'Create Backup' to take your first snapshot. The mod will capture your current world state; subsequent backups will only save what's changed since the last one.

The initial backup must capture your entire world to establish a baseline for future incremental saves. After this, each new backup will be much smaller since only modifications are stored.

Yes, you can restore to any snapshot in your backup history through the mod's restore menu. Select the backup date/time you want and confirm; your world will load from that point.

Fast Backups Mod is designed for single-player worlds. Multiplayer server backups require server-side configuration and may not work the same way as the client-side mod.

You need enough space for your full world size plus incremental changes across all backups you plan to keep. Since only changes are stored after the first backup, multiple snapshots take far less space than traditional full-world copies.

Deleting a backup removes that snapshot, but you can still restore to any other backup you've kept. The mod's Git-based system handles this without corrupting your remaining backups.

Yes, the mod includes automatic backup scheduling. Configure the interval (such as after a set amount of playtime) in the mod settings, and backups will trigger without manual input.

Backups run in the background and are optimized to minimize performance impact. You may notice a brief pause when a backup completes, but gameplay should remain smooth.

Your backup files are stored separately from the mod itself, so updating the mod will not delete your snapshots. Always back up your backup folder before major updates as a precaution.

Yes, you can copy your backup folder to another installation of the mod on a different computer. The Git-based format is portable, so your snapshots will be accessible on the new system.
