Solved Server Kicks All Players During Backup

[Russ]

Hi Dana,

I've had a couple of issues with this since trying it out. When I first used it, it was kicking all players from the server. It said there was a packet loss, it did this on several occasions until I unloaded the plugin. I thought I'd give it another go but am still experiencing issues although no packet loss kicks this time (not using the Discord feature now – so believe that was the cause)

I’m a bit confused why it won’t backup bans, server, serverauto and users without the following;

"cfg",
"cfg/bans.cfg",
"cfg/server.cfg",
"cfg/serverauto.cfg",
"cfg/users.cfg",
"bans.cfg",
"server.cfg",
"serverauto.cfg",
"users.cfg",

Surely I only need either cfg/filename or filename.cfg ? It seems like a lot just to save 4 files? Without all that, it doesn't save those 4 files.

I also have backup oxide set to true but it only saves an empty oxide folder. It says in console that its skipping files. Do I need to specify each individual file for it to save?

When whitelist mode is enabled, you need to specify which paths to back up. This means adding directories like plugins and config to Files To Backup list

This should be fixed in the next update, thanks for the report!

By the way, keep in mind that you can't backup individual files like cfg/server.cfg or cfg/bans.cfg. You need to add the whole cfg folder instead (The next update should correctly include all files inside it.)

I think you might be right about that. Discord has an attachment size limit, usually 8MB, so it's likely failing to send the file because it's too large, which ends up hanging the server. I'll add a file size check before sending to Discord to prevent this from happening

Thanks again for the heads-up!

Thanks for the quick reply and turnaround. I'll give it a go shortly and if any issues, let you know

Just to confirm its all setup and working as intended now
