I don't think it's good to pause automatic backups only because the server is in sleep mode. Before it could have been running and data might have changed. So, you want more a check if data has changed since last backup.

Just need some type of check and balance code put in, something Mike can hash out I'm sure. The request came up over Discord from another user and after talking to Mike a short bit on it there I added this request 😀 👍

No worries good looking out though, you do raise a valid point. Checks and balances will most likely be needed to prevent data corruption or say a backup in process getting paused because the game server went into sleep mode. Definitely some points to hash out.

Ideal version of this is actually a way to only take a new backup if the server has been in the running state at any point since the last backup was taken, so that it won't for example make two identical backups of a server that is stopped.

Or perhaps an option on triggers to only take effect while the server is running?
