FastBack
Fast incremental Minecraft world backups powered by Git technology
FastBack is a Minecraft modification that creates backup copies of your world as sequential snapshots. During each backup, only the parts of the world that have undergone changes are saved.
This approach ensures high backup creation speed and allows storing multiple versions of your world without significant disk space consumption.
