Backups

Starting with EasyAdmin v5.6, backups of your banlist are automatically created and saved in the backup folder inside your EasyAdmin directory.

By default: - A new backup is created every 3 days. - Old backups are kept for 30 days before being deleted to make space for new ones.

Configuring Backups

You can change how backups are created by editing the following Convars in your server config file:

ea_backupFrequency 72    # How often (in hours) a new backup should be created
ea_maxBackupCount 10     # Maximum number of backups to keep

Example: For High-Traffic Servers

If your server bans players frequently (e.g., hourly), you might want to use this configuration:

ea_backupFrequency 6      # Create a backup every 6 hours
ea_maxBackupCount 128     # Keep up to 128 backups (about 1 month of daily backups)

This setup ensures you always have a recent backup if needed.

You can also create a backup manually at any time using the command:

ea_createBackup

Restoring from a Backup

EasyAdmin allows you to restore your banlist from a backup file.

1. Find the backup file you want to use.
   It will be in the backups folder, and will look something like:

   banlist_12_37_16_12_2077.json
   

2. Use the command to load the backup:

   ea_loadBackup banlist_12_37_16_12_2077.json
   

⚠️ Make sure to replace banlist_12_37_16_12_2077.json with the actual name of the backup file you want to load.
