@andrewtdavis can you please explain that a bit more in detail? I think you missed that it first changes the directory to ${SERVER_DIR}/Saves and then it creates the backup from the Saves directory so no backup is included and this shouldn't cause any issues because the Saves directory is a different directory than Backup directory, at least I don't know why the old backups are included in your case...
The proposed change would also create an issue where the whole file path is included in the backup instead of the relative file path.
Did maybe the path to the saves change? That's the only thing that I can imagine with the v1.0 update?
@andrewtdavis now I get it, it seems that the path changed (in this commit) and I completely forgot to change the start-backup.sh script so that these changes are reflected.
Is the new path then ${SERVER_DIR}/User/Saves
? If yes I'll change the script to:
...
cd ${SERVER_DIR}/User/Saves
tar -czf ${SERVER_DIR}/Backups/$(date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S').tar.gz .
...
@ich777 Correct. Here's what the basic structure of $SERVERDIR
looks like. Realistically, the only part that changes and would need to be restored is the ./User/Saves
folder.
To fix pathing in the backup tar, why not try either:
tar -czf ${SERVER_DIR}/Backups/$(date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S').tar.gz -C ./ ${SERVER_DIR}/User/Saves
or
pushd ${SERVER_DIR}/User/Saves
I find it safer to avoid using relative paths in scripts to prevent them from doing something unexpected with a path. Another option would be to test if we're in a save directory and exit with an error if it's something else.
Here's what $SERVER_DIR looks like with 1.0:
./steamapps
./steamapps/downloading
./steamapps/temp
./Licenses
./7DaysToDieServer_Data
./7DaysToDieServer_Data/Managed
./7DaysToDieServer_Data/Resources

Realistically, the only part that changes and would need to be restored is the
./User/Saves
folder.
Jup, I simply forgot that to change, the old path was just ${SERVER_DIR}/saves
as you can see here.

Done.
I've already pushed an update to the container, please update the container. Thanks for reporting that issue. :)
Please let me know if the update solves the issue.
@andrewtdavis any update on this? I would really like to close this issue if the issue is resolved.
Sorry, it took a few days for k3s to see an update. I can confirm I have the saves are correctly showing up now, and are with the correct paths. Here's a recent backup:

Using the 7d2d branch, the
start-backup.sh
script uses a relative path for tar instead of absolute paths. This creates a situation where it creates backups of all previous backups, in an ever-growing list.Example:
Suggestion:
Replace
with
This has the added benefit of not duplicating generated worlds, which the one I have (RWG, 10240 tiles) is about 350M but doesn't change.
