| Fact | Chronos Backups | DriveBackupV2 |
|---|---|---|
| Downloads | Stable releases are available through Modrinth, CurseForge, and GitHub Releases; GitHub Actions also publishes nightly builds that the project says should not be assumed stable. | The project links releases through GitHub, Bukkit, Spigot, Modrinth, and CurseForge. |
| Minecraft compatibility | The project lists support across Minecraft versions 1.7.x through 26.x, with loader availability varying by version. | The README lists Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, and Purpur servers running Minecraft 1.8 through 1.21.X. |
| Purpose | Chronos Backups is a multi-loader, multi-version Minecraft backup utility that keeps backups smaller by saving the most important parts of a world. | DriveBackupV2 is a Minecraft server plugin that backs up data remotely. |
| Retention | The `maxStoredBackups` setting caps retained backups per world locally and on each enabled cloud destination, removing the oldest first; the README recommends 5. | Separate local and remote keep-count settings automatically delete older backups after configured limits. |
