• backup_type = "time" // Options: "tick" or "time" !NOTE! Tick based does not work yet.
• backup_frequency = 600 // Options: If type is "tick" this means every 5 ticks. Else frequency is in seconds. 600 -> every 10 minutes.
• TBRBA = 5000 // Time between rollback Actions, this is usefull if you have large databases for rollback to ensure the whole thing is loaded.
• backup_format = "%u-%Y-%M-%D-%h-%m-%s" // Use custom format for the auto backup system.

Commands

• backup("FolderName") // Initiates a manual backup
• startauto() // Initiates the automatic backup protocol if not defined before in config
• restore("FolderName") // Initiates a rollback to the given folder.
• format("options") // Returns formatting data for manual backup.

Caveats

• After using rollback the db is cached thus using the command again will result in the same db being restored to. This occurs regardless of deleteing the file or targeting a different one. For the time being only one rollback target can be chosen to change the target the server may have to be reset.
