Banlist Backups¶

EasyAdmin automatically creates backups of the banlist at configurable intervals. Backups are stored in the backups/ directory as JSON files.

Automatic Backups¶

Convar	Default	Description
`ea_backupFrequency`	`72`	Hours between automatic backups. Set to `0` to disable automatic backups
`ea_maxBackupCount`	`10`	Maximum number of backups to retain. Oldest backups are deleted when this limit is reached

Example:

set ea_backupFrequency 24
set ea_maxBackupCount 30

Backup files are named with the format banlist_HH_MM_DD_MM_YYYY.json (e.g., banlist_14_30_15_06_2025.json).

Manual Backup¶

Use the ea_createBackup command to create a backup immediately. Requires server-level permissions.

1	`ea_createBackup`

Restore from Backup¶

Use the ea_loadBackup command followed by the backup filename to restore a previous banlist state. This replaces the current banlist entirely. Requires server-level permissions.

1	`ea_loadBackup banlist_14_30_15_06_2025.json`

List available backups in the backups/ directory to find the correct filename.

Custom Banlist Integration¶

When ea_custombanlist is enabled, EasyAdmin triggers ea_data:addBan and ea_data:updateBan events when ban entries are added or updated during backup restoration. This allows other resources to sync with EasyAdmin's banlist.

1	`set ea_custombanlist "true"`

Default: false

Backup Storage¶

Backups are stored in the EasyAdmin resource directory under backups/. Ensure your server has read and write permissions for this directory. On managed hosting platforms, you may need to adjust FTP or file permissions.
