On windows, with 1.16 BDS, hot backups should work right?

However, the executable is terminating with this error:

"NOTICE: Hot-backups are currently not supported on Windows. Please enable "StopBeforeBackup" in the "configuration.json" instead."

There was known bug with 1.14 that prevent Hot-Backups. With 1.16 maybe it got fixed?

I know we already talked about this issue on Discord @voult2, but I'm going to clarify it here on GitHub as well for others who might be interested :).


Unfortunately taking hot backups using the save hold command seems to not be working on Windows due to file access permissions, on Linux it does though (using BDS v1.16.0.2). We may just be doing something wrong however (anyone how is on to something or has a workaround: feel free to file a pull request!). But as far as I know it's a common issue which has already been reported on the BDS JIRA here.

I'm going to leave this open so we can discuss on the progress of this issue :).

Hot-backups on Windows are now enabled and working with commit 76ea401, available with the latest release (v1.2.3).
