CRITICAL: Before updating, you MUST copy your backup files and metadata. Failure to do so will result in permanent loss of all your backup history and files.
Keeping Revo Backup up-to-date ensures access to the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes. However, updating requires special attention to preserve your existing backups.

Backup Your Current Backup Files

Before replacing the old script, you MUST copy these files from your current revo_backup folder:
DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! Your backup files and metadata are stored in the script folder. If you don’t copy them, you will lose:
  • All your backup history
  • All your .sql backup files
  • Backup metadata and labels
  1. Navigate to your current revo_backup folder in resources
  2. Copy the following to a safe location (temporary folder):
    • backup_metadata.json - Contains all backup history and labels
    • All .sql backup files (e.g., backup_2024-01-15_12-00-00.sql)
  3. Also backup your config.lua if you’ve made custom changes
You can copy the entire revo_backup folder as a backup before proceeding, or just copy the files mentioned above.

Replace the Old Script

  1. Unzip the newly downloaded script bundle
  2. Open your server directory and navigate to the resources folder
  3. Delete the old version of the revo_backup folder
  4. Move the new script folder into the resources folder

Restore Your Backup Files

CRITICAL STEP: Copy your backup files back into the new script folder:
  1. Copy backup_metadata.json into the new revo_backup folder
  2. Copy all your .sql backup files into the new revo_backup folder
  3. If you backed up config.lua, restore your custom settings
The new version will recognize your existing backups and continue tracking them properly. Your backup history, labels, and all SQL files will be preserved.

Restart or Refresh the Resource

You can either restart your server or refresh the resource using:
  refresh
  restart revo_backup

​
Verification

After updating, verify that your backups are intact:
  1. Check Backup Files: Navigate to revo_backup folder and confirm all .sql files are present
  2. Check Metadata: Verify backup_metadata.json exists and contains your backup history
  3. Test UI: Open the backup UI (/backup or F6) and verify all backups are listed
  4. Verify Labels: Check that all your backup labels are still visible
If you notice any backups missing after updating, immediately restore from your temporary backup folder. Never delete the temporary backup until you’ve confirmed everything is working correctly.
Always keep a separate backup of your backup files in a different location (outside the server directory) as an extra safety measure.
