Hey! This is script is soo lifesaver! However I have to make backups by typing command manually. I am new to linux and I had a lot of problems with cron, even after reading ton of tutorials or smth similar.

My configuration looks like

##
#commented section
##

0 * * * * /home/backup.sh

But what I get every hour is: Backup was not saved! information. I read something about PATH in cron in readme.md, but I can't really understand what do you mean by that(Imma add that English is not my native language). It would be really nice if you could share example crontab configuration file!

Hi, add arguments (argument information can be obtained by running backup.sh —help).

Here's a simple example of what you should get: “/path/backup.sh -i /path/to/worldDir -o /path/to/backupsDir -s ScreenName -m 16 -c”

Ohhh, I thought assigning values in script file should work! Thanks for awesome script and help! (and sorry for stupid question 😳)
