Hello, thought I would share this smart way to store automatic backups of your database in the cloud.

What do I need?

- Windows OS

- Navicat Premium

- Dropbox Free(or Pro)

 

How does it work?

It is very simple, you create a batch job that will take backup and give it a schedule so it will repeat. Now this is where Dropbox comes in, after installing Dropbox on your server you will get a folder that will sync all the files you upload. This means after the files are synced you can access them anywhere even if your server is off.

 

I will show you how to change destination folder for your backups. All your backups will be compressed in a .PSC file. This is why you don't really need a Pro user at Dropbox. My database is on 2 gb~ but after the backup is compressed and uploaded to Dropbox it's only 180 MB.

 

Let's start

  • 1. Right-click on your connection and click Connection Properties

  • 2. Click Advanced, then change "Settings Save Path" to your Dropbox folder.

My Dropbox folder is on my Desktop but you did maybe put your's somewhere else.

 

  • 3. Go back to Navicat and press "Schedule", then click New Batch Job.

  • 4. Double click on "Backup (yourdatabasename)" so it will show up in the field under.

  • 5. Now let's save! press CTRL+S and type in a name ex. Backup and then Ok.
     
  • 6. The backup is now ready but with no function. Press Set Task Schedule and go to "Schedule".

 

You can now enter when you would like to take automatic backups. I choosed Daily and 8 PM because then it's night where I live so few users are online.

  • 7. After you have set your schedule press Ok and enter your server password.

 

Pro tips: Create another Batch Job that empty your chatlog 5 minutes before the backup.

 

You can now access your backups anywhere and through all your devices!

 

This is also really smart in many ways, let's say your server gets hacked and they wipe your database. You will still have the database from last schedule. Just make sure to store Dropbox another place then your Desktop.

 

Enjoy!

    • There's many reasons why it would be more NO than YES : Using NCSoft assets is a death wish, they can lawyer any LU3/Unity if they wanted, since it's a plain steal of intellectual property. It's an hobby, as you said it, and it's not specially about money. Money is a way to filter idiots/resellers, nothing more. It's really about trying to replicate old content and optimize it which I find it fun. I just align with the basic idea than an emulator emulates. When you launch Project64 and SuperMario 64, you don't expect to get something more than 120 stars and Bowser boss in the end - which should have been L2J project to begin with Even if I played a lot with TESCS from Morrowind, back in time, it's not enough to handle current engines, and I'm too lazy to learn Unity/Unreal Engine. Moreover, it would mean buying assets. While doing it alone would be a fail, coupling to L2J / L2 community would still be shitty (since the majority is RU/BR) ; people is only about fame/glory/reselling shit on back of others. Opening to others, the project would be leaked day 1, rebranded and resold. MMO genre is basically dead, and that's not a reboot of any game (l2/wow classic :D) which will turn the tide. Regarding L2 or an remastered version of it, you can obviously blatantly copy-cat it (as Propnight did for Dead by daylight).   All frenchies aren't supposed to do Expedition 33 :).
