Could someone help me with a script that would back up my Minecraft server every half hour?
(By help, I mostly mean doing it for me.)
It should have 24 backups (12 hours worth) and when that is done it overwrites the first backup.
Backup 1
Backup 2
....
Backup 24
Backup 1
I know a little C and i am fluent in Axe (not sure if the latter helps :P )
I have been in this community for quite some time, so even though this isn't a computer programing community, I know you guys won't give me viruses :/ )

well, you could make a .bat file that gets run every 30 mins that copyies your server to a backup folder. IDK how that would work (in regards to the every 30 mins thing)
-
The every 30 min thing you could create in Windows easily(if admin), but I don't know how to do it in other OS's. It is just a scheduled task. I'm sure every OS can do it
-
Try checking out Bukkit and its plugins. I'm pretty sure you'll find something of that sort there.

Kick me as hard as you can. I was thinking of asking to be banned for wasting time with such a dumb question. (it may not be dumb to you as you may not have been exposed to such things) I had to save as a bat file instead of txt :P
I found this.
How do i compile it?
