BackupMod

A 7 days to die modlet which makes it possible to automatically backup and restore your game saves.

Settings

You can configure the modlet by modifying the 'settings.json' file, or you can also use FilUnderscore's Mod Manager.
If you changed the configuration when you were in game, you should re-enter your world to apply the changed settings.

}

By default, your backups for each save will be saved in the '%AppData%/7DaysToDie/Backups/%WorldName%/%SaveName%' directory (on windows).
and your archived backups for each save will be saved in the '%AppData%/7DaysToDie/Archive/%WorldName%/%SaveName%' folder (on windows).

P.S. You can also change the UserGameData property in your serverconfig.xml or in the game startup arguments. Then by default it will use these directories: '%UserGameData%/Backups/%WorldName%/%SaveName%' for backups, and
'%UserGameData%/Archive/%WorldName%/%SaveName%' for archive
