Backup for Minecraft servers
A generic backup tool doesn't know it needs to pause the world before it snapshots it.
ManaBucket does. We quiesce your Java or Bedrock server over RCON before every snapshot, then send an encrypted, deduplicated copy to storage that isn't sitting on the same box your world lives on. One command to install, nothing to configure by hand.
How worlds actually get lost
Not from one dramatic event. From ordinary ones nobody had a real copy for.
- ✕ A disk dies on the VPS or home PC the world lives on.
- ✕ A bad plugin or mod update corrupts the world.
- ✕ Someone deletes a build, or a griefer trashes it, with no clean rollback point.
- ✕ The host itself goes down - and its "backup" lived on the same infrastructure that just failed.
- ✕ A backup taken mid-write corrupts the very copy that was supposed to save you.
A hosting panel's bundled backup is capped low and lives on the same provider whose failure it's supposed to protect against. A free self-hosted tool is capable but has no idea what a Minecraft world even is, so it risks the exact mid-write corruption in the last item above.
What makes it safe for a Minecraft server specifically
Pauses the world before it copies it
We tell your server to hold saves over RCON before every snapshot, and let it go the moment we're done. A generic backup tool has no idea it needs to do this - it just copies whatever's on disk, mid-write or not.
Finds your worlds on its own
Java or Bedrock, vanilla or modded - the agent recognizes a real world folder and the plugins/mods/configs around it, so you're not hand-listing paths in a config file.
A rename never breaks your history
Every world gets a stable ID the moment we see it, kept in a marker file, never derived from the folder name. Rename "survival" to "survival_old" and its backup history comes with it.
One command, nothing else to run
Paste one install command on your Linux server. No Docker, no S3 credentials, no CLI to learn. If you can run a Minecraft server, you can run this.
