Restoring Aroma Backups: A Step-By-Step Guide To Accessing Your Data

AromaBackup is a Minecraft mod that allows users to back up their worlds. It is highly recommended for players who want to ensure their progress is saved in case of any corruption or issues with their world. The mod is simple to use and can be accessed through the Singleplayer menu, where players can select the world they want to restore a backup from. Backups can also be accessed by navigating to the backups folder and unzipping the desired backup into a new folder.

Accessing AromaBackup in Singleplayer

AromaBackup is a utility mod that allows players to create backups of their singleplayer worlds in Minecraft. It is available for versions 1.6.4 to 1.10.2, with a beta release for version 1.11. This mod is particularly useful in preventing data loss due to game crashes or corruption caused by interactions between other mods installed.

To access AromaBackup in Singleplayer, follow these steps:

• Configure Backup Settings: By default, AromaBackup creates a backup every 30 minutes and saves the latest 10 backups. However, you can customise the backup frequency and the number of backups saved by editing the config file. The config file can be found at "config/aroma1997/AromaBackup.cfg". Open this file and locate the line I:keep=20. You can change the number after "I:keep=" to adjust the number of backups AromaBackup maintains.
• Initiate a Backup: AromaBackup automatically creates backups at the specified intervals. However, if you want to initiate a backup manually, you can use the "/backup" command. This command forces your singleplayer world to create a backup.
• Restoring a Backup: To restore a backup, go to the main menu in Minecraft, click on "Singleplayer", and select the world you want to restore. Click on the "Backups" button, choose the backup you want to restore, and then click the "Restore" button.
• Backup Folder Location: The backups created by AromaBackup are stored in a specific folder. To locate this folder, go to your Minecraft installation folder, then navigate to "minecraft -> backups". Within this folder, you will find subfolders for each year, month, and date, containing the backup files.

Remember that the backup folder can become quite large over time, so it is recommended to periodically delete older backups that are no longer needed. Additionally, always ensure that you have a recent backup before making any significant changes to your world or installing new mods to prevent data loss.

AromaBackup configuration

AromaBackup is a Minecraft mod that saves and backs up your world, so you have a backup to restore your world from if another mod corrupts your world or a Supercharged Creeper explodes the key infrastructure of your base. It also adds a way of automatically restoring backups.

AromaBackup allows users to automatically backup worlds. It allows you to choose the frequency of backups, along with the number to keep. It is recommended for use in single-player or LAN worlds.

The configuration file can be found under config/aroma1997/AromaBackup.cfg. Here are some of the key settings you can adjust:

• AllPlayers: Determines whether all players or only admins can use the /backup command.
• Blacklist: Enables the blacklist for dimensions that will not be backed up.
• CompressionRate: Sets the compression rate for backups, ranging from 1 (low compression) to 9 (high compression).
• Delay: Specifies how frequently automatic backups are performed in minutes. Setting this to 0 disables automatic backups.
• Keep: Determines the number of backups to keep. Setting this to 0 will keep all backups.
• Location: Specifies the location to store the backups, either as an absolute path or relative to the Minecraft folder.
• SkipBackup: If enabled, the scheduled backup will be skipped if no players were on the server since the last one.
• UseWhitelist: If set to true, it will use the Dimension Whitelist; if false, it will use the Dimension Blacklist.
• Whitelist: Enables the whitelist for dimensions that will be backed up.

To adjust the number of backups that AromaBackup maintains, change the value of I:keep in the configuration file. For example, to keep 20 backups, set I:keep=20.

Restoring Backups

If you are playing in Singleplayer, go to the main menu, click on Singleplayer, select the world to restore, click the Backups button, choose the backup, and click Restore. If you are not using incremental backups, you can navigate to the backups folder, unzip the desired backup into a new folder, and replace your world folder with the new folder.
