Restoring Aroma Backups: A Step-By-Step Guide To Loading The Last One

AromaBackup is a simple mod by Aroma1997 that allows users to save and restore backups of their Minecraft world. It offers several benefits, including scheduled backups, command-controlled backups, and backups upon world load/unload. Additionally, it provides the option to delete previous backups. To load the last AromaBackup, users should open their FTB launcher, access the Options tab, and navigate to their install folder. Within the relevant modpack folder, users can locate the backups by following this path: minecraft --> backups --> Home --> year --> month --> date. The backups are named Backup-Home-year-month-date--hour-minute.zip, with the last two digits indicating the backup time. Users can then open the desired backup, copy the Home folder, and paste it into the saves folder, overwriting the existing Home folder.

Open the FTB launcher and click on the Options tab

To load the last Aroma backup, you will need to open the FTB launcher and click on the Options tab. The FTB launcher is a program that allows you to manage and launch Minecraft modpacks. It is important to note that this process is specifically for the Agrarian Skies modpack, but it works the same way for other modpacks.

Once you have clicked on the Options tab, you will see your Install Folder. Open up this folder, and then open the folder for your specific modpack. For Agrarian Skies, the folder is named AgrarianSkiesHQ.

Now, navigate through the following folders: minecraft --> backups --> Home. Here, you will find folders for different years. Open the folder for the current year, or the year of the backup you want to load. Then, open the folder for the corresponding month, and then the date.

You will now see a list of backups, named Backup-Home-year-month-date--hour-minute.zip. As a reminder, the last two numbers indicate the time of the backup. Choose the backup you want to load and copy the Home folder.

Next, go back to the AgrarianSkiesHQ folder and navigate to minecraft --> saves. Delete the existing Home folder, but leave the NEI folder untouched. Finally, paste the copied Home folder into the saves folder.

Now, you can launch your game and play the map from your chosen backup.

Find your Install Folder

To find your Install Folder, open your FTB launcher and click on the Options tab. The first thing you will see in that tab will be your Install Folder. Head to your install folder and open up the folder. For example, if you are using Agrarian Skies, the folder will be named AgrarianSkiesHQ.

Once you are in the correct folder, navigate through the following folders in this order: minecraft, backups, Home, and then select the relevant year (for example, 2015), followed by the month (e.g., 4) and finally, the date (e.g., 1).

Here, you will find a list of backups named Backup-Home-year-month-date--hour-minute.zip. The last two digits of the file name indicate the time of the backup. Choose the backup you want to open and copy the Home folder.

Now, head back to the folder and navigate to minecraft > saves. Delete the existing Home folder, but leave the NEI folder untouched. Finally, paste the copied Home folder into the saves folder.

Open the relevant modpack folder

To open the relevant modpack folder, you will need to follow a series of steps that vary depending on the launcher you are using. Here is a detailed guide on how to do this for some of the most common launchers:

• In the new window, open the "mods" folder.
• Drag and drop your desired mod JAR files into this folder.
• Return to the launcher and click "Play" to the right of the profile to launch the modpack.

Navigate to the backups folder

To navigate to the backups folder, follow these steps:

Firstly, open your FTB launcher and click on the Options tab. Here, you will find your Install Folder. Open this folder.

Next, open the folder for your specific modpack. For example, for Agrarian Skies, the folder is named AgrarianSkiesHQ.

Now, navigate through the following folders in this order: minecraft --> backups --> Home. Once you're in the Home folder, you should see folders for different years. Select the relevant year folder, followed by the month folder, and then the date folder.

At this point, you should see a list of backups, named with the format Backup-Home-year-month-date--hour-minute.zip. The last two numbers in the filename indicate the time of the backup. Choose the backup you want to use, open it, and copy the Home folder.

Now that you have copied the Home folder from your chosen backup, you can navigate back to your modpack folder. For example, if you're using Agrarian Skies, navigate back to the AgrarianSkiesHQ folder. From here, go to minecraft --> saves.

In the saves folder, delete the existing Home folder. Do not delete the NEI folder.

Finally, paste the Home folder you copied earlier into the saves folder. You can do this by right-clicking and selecting "Paste," or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V.

Now that you've navigated to the backups folder and selected your desired backup, you can proceed to load it in your game.

Find the most recent backup

To find the most recent backup, you will need to navigate to the "backups" folder. The location of this folder will depend on your specific setup.

If you are using the Agrarian Skies modpack, for example, you would first open up your FTB launcher and click on the "Options" tab. Here, you will find your Install Folder. Open this folder, then open the folder. For Agrarian Skies, this folder is named AgrarianSkiesHQ.

Once you are in the correct folder, navigate through the following folders: minecraft --> backups --> Home --> [year] --> [month] --> [date].

Within the date folder, you will find a list of backups named Backup-Home-year-month-date--hour-minute.zip. The last two numbers in the filename indicate the time of the backup, so you can choose the most recent one based on this information.

If you are using a different modpack or setup, the folder structure may vary, but the general process of navigating through the folders to find the most recent backup file should be similar.

Additionally, if you are using the AromaBackup mod, it is recommended to keep an eye on hard drive usage and flush old backups occasionally to ensure optimal performance.
