Dropbox Support & More

DriveBackup V2 is looking for maintainers!

I don't have the time right now to add all of the new great feature requests and fix the bugs reported by or great community. In the past months, many people have contributed lots of time and energy to make these changes when I can't, and I think it is only fair to give these people partial control over the future of DriveBackupV2.
If you are interested, please open an issue on the GitHub.

In this update, the DriveBackupV2 community has added many features and fixed some bugs.

• Added DropBox support, see the docs to learn how to set this up
• No longer crashes if an incorrect timezone is provided
• No longer crashes if an incorrect backup format string is provided
• Fixed API-Version warning
• Uses new Adventure API interface library

Thanks to Rhodri for all the changes!

Fixed Backup List Globbing

In this patch, I've fixed an issue that caused the plugin to crash when globbing was used in the backup list.

Long Overdue Update

In this update, the DriveBackupV2 community and I fixed some bugs and added requested features.

• backup-list now supports globbing.
  • This is an advanced feature and easily misunderstood, please see this for details
• Added setting to disable turning off auto-saving during backups
  • Apparently turning back on auto-saving lags some servers
• Fixed issue with how upload times were displayed that caused backups to not be deleted when the number of them exceeded the number specified by keep-count and local-keep-count
• Commands to the plugin can now be sent from a remote console
• Upload speed is no longer displayed if the update failed
• Behind the scenes code refactor to make adding new uploaders easier

Sorry for the big gap between updates, been dealing with a lot of school work.
Also, huge thanks to frereit and dcronqvist for contributing some of these features!

Fixed Update Issue

In this patch, I've fixed an issue that caused the plugin to say there was an update available when no updates were available.

Added Compression Setting and Fixed a Small Bug

In this minor release, I've fixed a few small bugs and added some small features.

• Added zip-compression setting that controls the compression of the backup ZIP files
• Fixed conflicts with some other plugins

Fixed Issue Causing Crash

In this patch, I've fixed an issue that caused the plugin to crash when backing up on Spigot and Spigot-derived servers.
