About Drive Backup V2
DriveBackupV2 is an open-source Minecraft server plugin that creates and uploads backups to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or a remote storage server using (S)FTP or an S3-compatible API. It can back up any files or folders on the Minecraft server, and it can also back up remote (S)FTP file sources and MySQL databases from external servers such as a BungeeCord server. Backups can run automatically at a set interval or on a custom schedule, and the plugin can automatically delete local and remote backups once they exceed a specified amount.
The plugin requires Java 8 or higher and runs on Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, or Purpur servers for Minecraft 1.8 to 1.21.X. To back up to Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox, users must link their account and grant access; the project's privacy policy states that uploaded or accessed data stays on the Minecraft server and that the plugin cannot access unrelated data in those cloud accounts. Pricing information is not provided.
