Backups include auto backups in zip files
When the backups are zipped it is including the entire worlds folder contents which includes the auto backups the server is doing itself in the zip files. This bloats the zipped backups that this container is doing.
Here is the line in question in valheim-backup
zip -r "$backup_file" "$WORLDS_DIR/"
Maybe it should just include the current db and fwl file?
Maybe a filter to not include files with backup in the name?
Maybe as simple as using this command ... unsure as I havent tested it locally
zip -r "$backup_file" "$WORLDS_DIR/" -x *backup*.*
@barnhill I created a PR that will exclude the backup_auto files. However in your screenshot I also see backup files. Do you know where those come from? I couldn't replicate them on my system. I didn't want to exclude backup just in case some user named their world "something backup something".
Actually I'm unsure of their origin. I think excluding the auto backups will suffice for now to shrink the zip files and probably speed up the server start time since backups delay the start. Good job!! 👍
