How to use backed-up worlds with AromaBackup

AromaBackup is a simple mod by Aroma1997 that allows users to save and restore backups of their Minecraft world. It is included by default with the single-player pack of GTNH.

To use backed-up worlds with AromaBackup, follow these steps:

• Open your FTB launcher and click on the Options tab.
• Find your Install Folder and open the folder. For Agrarian Skies, it is AgrarianSkiesHQ.
• Navigate to minecraft --> backups --> Home --> [year] --> [month] --> [date].
• You will see a list of backups named Backup-Home-year-month-date--hour-minute.zip. Choose the backup you want to use and copy the Home folder.
• Go back to your folder and navigate to minecraft --> saves.
• Delete the existing Home folder, but leave the NEI folder.
• Paste the copied Home folder into the saves folder.
• Load up your Minecraft game and play your map.

AromaBackup allows users to automatically back up their worlds, and it is recommended for use in single-player or LAN worlds. You can customise the frequency of backups and the number of backups to keep. However, it is important to note that the backup folder can get very large over time, so remember to delete old backups periodically.

How to set up a backup mod

To set up a backup mod, you can use the AromaBackup mod. This mod allows you to save and restore backups of your world, with features such as scheduled backups, command-controlled backups, and backups on world load/unload.

• Download the AromaBackup mod files from https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/aromabackup/files?page=1&pageSize=20&version=1.7.10.
• Download the required dependency, Aroma1997Core, from https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/aroma1997core/files?page=1&pageSize=20&version=1.7.10.
• Place both downloaded files into the "mods/" folder of your Minecraft installation.
• Launch your Minecraft game and load a world.
• Verify that the mod is working by checking for messages like " [AromaBackup/INFO]: [º1AromaBackupºr] Server Backup done!" in the server console.
• Check if a new "backups/" folder has been created, and your world folder is being saved to this location.

Note: It is recommended to use this mod for single-player or LAN worlds. Additionally, remember to delete old backups periodically to manage storage space.

Alternatively, you can consider using "Yet Another Backup Mod", which offers more granular control over what and where to back up, with options for daily and weekly backups. However, some users prefer AromaBackup for its simplicity and compatibility.

How to recover a corrupt world

AromaBackup is a simple mod that allows users to save and restore backups of their Minecraft world. It is recommended for single-player or LAN worlds. It is possible to restore a corrupt world using AromaBackup by following these steps:

• Download and install the AromaBackup mod and the Aroma1997Core mod.
• Configure the mods by navigating to config/aroma1997/AromaBackup.cfg. Here, you can change the number of backups maintained and the frequency of backups.
• Once you have configured the mods, you can start using them to back up your world.
• To restore a corrupt world, navigate to where your backups are stored. This is typically in a backups folder inside your game installation directory.
• Find the backup you want to restore. Backups are usually stored by date, with the most recent backups appearing later in alphabetical order.
• Unzip the backup file and remove your old save file.
• Copy and paste the new backup into the saves folder.
• Load up your game and play your map.

It is important to note that AromaBackup does not back up journeymap or tcnodefinder directories. Therefore, it is recommended to back up these directories manually before or after each gaming session. Additionally, backing up the world while playing may result in corruption or file errors.

How to download and install AromaBackup

AromaBackup is a Minecraft mod that allows users to save and restore backups of their world. It is compatible with Minecraft versions 1.7.10, 1.10.2, 1.9.4, 1.11.2, 1.11, 1.12.2, 1.12.1, and 1.12.

To download and install AromaBackup, follow these steps:

• Download Minecraft Forge and install it.
• Download and install Aroma1997Core. This is a core mod required by many other mods, including AromaBackup.
• Locate the ".minecraft/mods" folder on your computer. If the "mods" folder does not exist, create one.
• Drag and drop the downloaded AromaBackup jar (zip) file into the ".minecraft/mods" folder.
• Run the Minecraft game and enjoy the AromaBackup mod.

Note that some users have reported issues with getting the mod to run, even after placing the file in the mods folder. In such cases, it is recommended to download the latest version of Aroma1997Core and ensure that it is compatible with your Minecraft version.

How to adjust the number of backups

AromaBackup is a simple mod that allows users to save and restore backups of their Minecraft world. It allows for scheduled backups, command-controlled backups, backups on world load/unload, and the deletion of previous backups.

To adjust the number of backups, you can change the configuration settings. The configuration file can be found at config/aroma1997/AromaBackup.cfg. Within this file, you will find the line I:keep=20. You can change the number after the equals sign to adjust the number of backups that AromaBackup maintains. For example, if you want to keep 10 backups, change the line to I:keep=10.

It is important to note that AromaBackup requires the Aroma1997Core to function. Additionally, if you are using AromaBackup on a server, clients must also have the Aroma1997Core installed.

By default, AromaBackup is configured to create a backup every 30 minutes. However, you can change this frequency in the configuration file as well. Simply locate the line I:delay=2880 and modify the number to adjust the backup frequency in minutes. For example, if you want backups every hour, change the line to I:delay=60.
