  2. 1.4.3Ancient-BackupDec 14, 2025

    📦 Ancient-Backup — v1.4.3

    🚀 Overview

    Ancient-Backup v1.4.3 is a fully asynchronous, performance-aware backup solution for Minecraft 1.20+ servers, designed to create complete server backups while remaining lag-free, memory-safe, and highly configurable. This release focuses heavily on memory control, stability, and production-readiness, while offering advanced upload destinations and detailed monitoring. ---

    🧠 Performance & Memory Management

    - Added a soft memory budget system to prevent excessive RAM usage. - ZIP and upload buffers dynamically scale based on available memory. - Automatic best-effort garbage collection after ZIP creation when memory pressure is detected. - Memory is also cleaned up after uploads finish. - Prevents memory from continuously growing during large backups. - Designed to respect server load and avoid TPS drops.
    New performance config options:
    - max-memory-mb - max-buffer-kb - min-buffer-kb - max-chunk-mb - cleanup-after-backup - gc-after-zip
    ⚠️ Note: Java plugins cannot hard-limit JVM memory per plugin. Ancient-Backup enforces soft limits by reducing buffers, chunk sizes, and parallelism.
    ---

    ☁️ Backup Destinations

    Supports secure, encrypted uploads to: - SFTP - FTPS (Explicit & Implicit TLS) - Microsoft Graph - OneDrive - SharePoint - Google Drive
    Upload Features
    - Parallel uploads (configurable). - Automatic remote folder creation. - Upload speed tracking (MB/s). - Destination-side retention policy (old backups are removed remotely). - Ability to retry uploading the last local backup if a previous upload failed. - Local backup is automatically deleted after a successful upload. ---

    📊 Monitoring & Feedback

    - /abackup status shows: - ZIP progress (%) - Upload progress (%) - Current upload speed (MB/s) - Live upload speed updates in the server console (updated continuously). - No in-game spam. - Permission-based notifications for staff/admins. ---

    ⏱ Scheduling & Automation

    - Fully automatic scheduled backups. - Manual backup start and cancel commands. - Graceful cancellation during ZIP or upload phases. - Automatically adapts resource usage based on server load. ---

    🔔 Notifications

    - Discord Webhook support - Backup start - ZIP completed - Upload start - Upload completed - Failure - Cancellation - Fully configurable per event. - Custom username and avatar support. ---

    🛠 Fixes & Stability Improvements

    - Fixed multiple compilation issues from earlier builds. - Fixed duplicated memory tracking methods. - Fixed GraphUploader initialization bugs. - Improved internal memory accounting accuracy. - Improved config reload reliability. - Ensured all upload options are disabled by default. ---

    🧩 Compatibility

    - Minecraft 1.20+ - Java 21 - Paper / Spigot compatible - Gradle-based build ---

    🔒 Design Philosophy

    Ancient-Backup is built to: - Never block the main server thread. - Avoid lag at all costs. - Prefer slightly slower backups over server instability. - Clean up all resources after each run. - Be safe for large, long-running production servers. ---

    📌 Recommended Configuration (Example)

    ```yml performance: max-memory-mb: 512 max-buffer-kb: 8192 min-buffer-kb: 256 max-chunk-mb: 16 cleanup-after-backup: true gc-after-zip: true
