I've tried acebackup and fdisk without results I'd like. I want to have checkpoints every half-hour for my minecraft server, so that effectively I have 48 different backups in a total 24 hour period. After the 48 backups are made though, I want the program to overwrite the previous backup. For instance at 3:30pm, a backup's made. In 24 hours, it's time to backup again at 3:30pm. I want the program to overwrite the last made 3:30pm backup.
I want the backups to be written over so I don't run out of disk space. I think the last 24 hours of progress after a crash would be enough to save the weeping of many friends' work :smile:
Anyone know how to do this in the two free programs I have (listed above) or any others? Buying a program isn't really an option atm.
Take a look at Cobain Backup - [url]http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/cobianbackup.htm[/url]
I use it for my Minecraft server and haven't had any problems.
On Linux use rsnapshot

If you aren't using Linux that's your first problem and you should be using it.

Rsnapshot is good if you want the server itself handling the backups. Cobian is good if you have an offsite Windows based server pulling the files via FTP from a Linux based gameserver. It supports compression and encryption, something you obviously don't want the game server to be processing.
Navigate to directory desired to be backed up.
Ctrl + A
Ctrl + C
Navigate to external hard drive.

So first he changes mode so he can give the screen some commands and then he kills the server?
That's the dumbest fucking idea I have ever heard.
