Discord Backup

downloadsBadge versionBadge

Note: this module uses recent discordjs features and requires discord.js v13.

Discord Backup is a powerful Node.js module that allows you to easily manage discord server backups.

  • Unlimited backups!
  • Backup creation takes less than 10 seconds!
  • Even restores messages with webhooks!
  • And restores everything that is possible to restore (channels, roles, permissions, bans, emojis, name, icon, and more!)

Changelog

  • Supports base64 for emojis/icon/banner backup
  • New option to save backups in your own database
  • backup#delete() removed in favor of backup#remove()

Installation

npm install --save discord-backup

Examples

You can read this example bot on Github: backups-bot

Create

Create a backup for the server specified in the parameters!

/**
 * @param {Guild} [Guild] - The discord server you want to backup
 * @param {object} [options] - The backup options
 */

const backup = require("discord-backup");
backup.create(Guild, options).then((backupData) => {
    console.log(backupData.id); // NSJH2
});

Load

Allows you to load a backup on a Discord server!

/**
 * @param {string} [backupID] - The ID of the backup that you want to load
 * @param {Guild} [Guild] - The discord server on which you want to load the backup
 */

const backup = require("discord-backup");
backup.load(backupID, Guild).then(() => {
    backup.remove(backupID); // When the backup is loaded, it's recommended to delete it
});

Fetch

Fetches information from a backup

/**
 * @param {string} [backupID] - The ID of the backup to fetch
 */

const backup = require("discord-backup");
backup.fetch(backupID).then((backupInfos) => {
    console.log(backupInfos);
    /*
    {
        id: "BC5qo",
        size: 0.05
        data: {BackupData}
    }
    */
});

Remove

Warn: once the backup is removed, it is impossible to recover it!

/**
 * @param {string} [backupID] - The ID of the backup to remove
 */

const backup = require("discord-backup");
backup.remove(backupID);

List

Note: backup#list() simply returns an array of IDs, you must fetch the ID to get complete information.

const backup = require("discord-backup");
backup.list().then((backups) => {
    console.log(backups); // Expected Output [ "BC5qo", "Jdo91", ...]
});

SetStorageFolder

Updates the storage folder to another

const backup = require("discord-backup");
backup.setStorageFolder(__dirname+"/backups/");
await backup.create(guild); // Backup created in ./backups/
backup.setStorageFolder(__dirname+"/my-backups/");
await backup.create(guild); // Backup created in ./my-backups/

Advanced usage

Create [advanced]

You can use more options for backup creation:

const backup = require("discord-backup");
backup.create(guild, {
    maxMessagesPerChannel: 10,
    jsonSave: false,
    jsonBeautify: true,
    doNotBackup: [ "roles",  "channels", "emojis", "bans" ],
    saveImages: "base64"
});

maxMessagesPerChannel: Maximum of messages to save in each channel. "0" won't save any messages.
jsonSave: Whether to save the backup into a json file. You will have to save the backup data in your own db to load it later.
jsonBeautify: Whether you want your json backup pretty formatted.
doNotBackup: Things you don't want to backup. Available items are: roles, channels, emojis, bans.
saveImages: How to save images like guild icon and emojis. Set to "url" by default, restoration may not work if the old server is deleted. So, url is recommended if you want to clone a server (or if you need very light backups), and base64 if you want to backup a server. Save images as base64 creates heavier backups.

Load [advanced]

As you can see, you're able to load a backup from your own data instead of from an ID:

const backup = require("discord-backup");
backup.load(backupData, guild, {
    clearGuildBeforeRestore: true
});

clearGuildBeforeRestore: Whether to clear the guild (roles, channels, etc... will be deleted) before the backup restoration (recommended).
maxMessagesPerChannel: Maximum of messages to restore in each channel. "0" won't restore any messages.

Example Bot

// Load modules
const Discord = require("discord.js"),
backup = require("discord-backup"),
client = new Discord.Client(),
settings = {
    prefix: "b!",
    token: "YOURTOKEN"

});

client.on("message", async message => {

    // This reads the first part of your message behind your prefix to see which command you want to use.
    let command = message.content.toLowerCase().slice(settings.prefix.length).split(" ")[0];

    // These are the arguments behind the commands.
    let args = message.content.split(" ").slice(1);

    // If the message does not start with your prefix return.
    // If the user that types a message is a bot account return.
    // If the command comes from DM return.
    if (!message.content.startsWith(settings.prefix) || message.author.bot || !message.guild) return;

    if(command === "create"){
        // Check member permissions
