Summary

DriveBackupV2 is a free Minecraft server plugin for making remote backups of server data. It can back up server files and folders, remote SFTP sources, and MySQL databases, with destinations including Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, SFTP, FTP, and S3-compatible storage. Backups can run at set intervals or on a custom schedule; after basic setup, the default schedule is hourly. A retention setting can delete older local and remote backups, and the local-keep-count setting controls the number retained locally. The plugin runs on Bukkit-powered servers such as Spigot, Paper, and Purpur. Its requirements list Java 8 or higher and Minecraft versions 1.8 through 1.21.X for those server types. The project says Google Drive and OneDrive data stays on the Minecraft server and is not accessible to its makers. The repository is public under an MIT license, with support directed to Discord or issue reports. It is intended to help protect worlds against data loss, server termination, or accidental deletion.
