VisitCaCl2Backup vs FastBack
What both publish
| Fact | CaCl2Backup | FastBack |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | The README documents Fabric and Minecraft requirements and does not name any external backup storage integrations. | FastBack supports LuckPerms through the Fabric Permissions API for fine-grained command permissions. |
| Purpose | CaCl2Backup is a Minecraft server backup mod designed for Fabric. | FastBack is a Minecraft mod that creates incremental world backup snapshots, saving only changed parts of the world. |
| Requirements | The README lists Minecraft 26.0+, Fabric Loader 0.15.0+, Fabric API, and Java 25+ as requirements. | FastBack requires native Git and Git LFS to be installed and available on the Minecraft process PATH. |
| Restore | It restores world saves from backups, and restore operations overwrite the current world save. | A restore creates a copy of the world from a selected snapshot, leaving the current world files untouched. |
| Retention | Automatic cleanup can apply both a maximum backup count and maximum backup age; the documented defaults are 10 backups and 7 days. | FastBack supports snapshot pruning and retention policies. |
