insane Backup size with backupeverything option.

[BluBb-mADe]

The Plugin generates zipfiles up to 120GB filesize while backupeverything was true. I don't know how big the file would be if i have more hard drive space... The whole server directory is only 49mb.

my system: win7(x64) java7u5(x64) mc1.2.5 craftbukkit server1.2.5r5.0

my setup: Server: w:\server1\ Backup: W:\backups\ Other stuff: w:\otherstuff\

ive already tried to save the backups in W:\server1\backups\ but same problem occurred again.

There are no Servererrors because of this except the HDD was crowded and the server crashed because no more space left over.

Plugins: Backup, WorldEdit, Authme, PermissionsBukkit, Essentials

config: backupinterval: 5M norepeat: false alwayssaveall: false saveallinterval: 0 maxbackups: 40 backupemptyserver: true onlyops: true ignorebypass: true enableautosave: true backupeverything: true backuppath: 'W:\Backups\' usetemp: false tempfoldername: zipbackup: true splitbackup: false dateformat: 'Server1-%1$tY-%1$tm-%1$td-%1$tH-%1$tM-%1$tS' ftpuploadenable: false ftpserveraddress: ftpserverport: 21 ftpusername: ftppassword: ftpdirectory: backups backupworlds: true backupplugins: true skipworlds: pluginlistmode: true pluginlist: displaylog: true notifyallplayers: false enableversioncheck: true requiredstrings: str-200 version: 2.0

"backupeverything" can sometimes cause issues depending on your configuration.

Can you try turning it off and let me know if you still have errors?

Also, can you do the following: Stop server Delete server.log start server run /backup stop server (after backup completes) send me server.log

Thanks :)

i've found the problem by myself. If i use "backupseverything: true" simultaneously with "usetemp: false" the error occurs. for now i will enable the usetemp option but maybe you want to fix that. I don't think this would be difficult to fix. I suspect the plugin tries to write the backup zip into the backup zip and then you will get an endless loop an an endless growing file.

By the way... first : the first backup after serverstart doesnt end...never! the plugin only posts that an backup is already in progress:D second: yes, if i turn off the backupeverything option or/and turn on the usetemp option the plugin runs normaly.

...ohh i accidentally closed the issue, this was not intentional...

Okay, I understand the problem now. :)

I will go over the code tonight.

Thanks.
