This plugin extends the built-in backup process in Rust to provide more flexibility and additional features. It has features a built-in timer function for timed backups, can be configured to broadcast the backup process to the server chat with an optional delay between announcements, and can create multiple backups.
Note: To be fully compatible with the internal backup processing in Rust, on server startup it backs up all custom folders above "3" to the next one (if it exists) on server shutdown. This frees up folder number "3" which will/could then be overwritten on server startup backups. This ensures full data consistency.
