What is the expected method for Minecraft backups? I originally set the backup to take place without stopping the server and it was successful. I now get errors so I created separate triggers to first stop the server, another to take a backup and another to then start the server. At first I made all of these separately which worked fine but then I noticed that I could arrange multiple tasks within a single trigger linearly, shown below, but it appears it does not start the server. My question is, will the tasks within a trigger execute when the previous task ends or is the intent for successful backups to create separate triggers? Thank you!
Most tasks in the scheduler are non-blocking, so they probably all fired off too quickly.
You can use a wait if you know about how long things will take, or you could create another trigger to start the server when A backup has finished archiving
With Minecraft you can also backup the server while things are running, as AMP makes use of the save-all, save-off, and save-on commands to stop MC from saving to the disk. (some mods/plugins may not listen to that though)
Perfect, thank you, that worked!
