Our verdict on AutoBackupV2

AutoBackupV2 is a self-hosted backup plugin for Paper servers running Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.x. It is designed for server operators who need scheduled protection for worlds, plugins, and configuration files without separating those areas into different backup tools. Backups are stored in the server’s local backups folder as Java ZIP archives, and the plugin supports both scheduled and manual operations.

Its strongest technical feature is incremental processing: after the initial full backup, later runs include changed files. Backup work is processed asynchronously, while the server performs a world save before backup operations begin. Operators can configure the backup interval, backup scope, exclusions, and backup mode, then set automatic deletion of older backups according to a configured limit. Manual commands support backup creation, backup listing, backup information, and configuration reloads, giving administrators direct control when scheduled runs are not enough.

AutoBackupV2 is a practical fit for Paper Java servers that want local, configurable backup coverage with a narrow focus on server files. Its main operational tradeoff is restoration: recovering a backup requires stopping the server and extracting a selected archive over the current server files. Restoration is also handled at full-backup granularity rather than through more selective file-level recovery. Choose it when asynchronous scheduled backups, incremental processing, retention, and configurable exclusions matter most; consider another approach if you need a guided restore workflow, remote storage, or finer-grained restoration.
