ARK-Backup-Restorer

I built this tool to restore the backups I made with the ark server tools from FezVrasta. The script gets the correct .tar.bz2 file from the backup directory, unzips it and copys the contents in the right directory (moving the old savegame to a separate SavedArks.old folder).

How to compile the script on Linux

• Install Swift from http://www.swift.org
• Run swiftc -o restoreBackup path/to/main.swift path/to/BackupController.swift
• The executable restoreBackup has been built

Usage

./restoreBackup [-d] <savegame folder> <instance> <hh:mm>

Argument	Explanation
-d	Restore a backup from yesterday. If not set, the script will restore a backup from today
savegame folder	The exact name of the folder in your home directory, where the ark instance is located. (The folder where the ShooterGame subfolder is located in)
instance	The name of the arkmanager instance
hh:mm	The time of the backup to restore
