@Chuck67322 I don't have craftbukkit for 1.9... I want that so bad! Missing our 1.7 World so badly right now, lol...
The autosave and backup is done via a crontab job, and a custom script I wrote. I have not released it yet because it is very poorly written and very poorly documented. YouTube doesn't seem to let me post the link to it, so I cannot share it... PM me your email address and I can send it your way if you want.
@Chuck67322 I used crontab to perform scheduled task. Minecraft_server.jar is launched in a screen (google: man screen) with a specific name. The script prints messages to the specified screen to notify user about backup, force a save, pause saving (so data doesn't change when it is backing up), incrementally backs up the world files via rdiff-backup, resume saving, and notify user about backup complete. Pretty simple... Needs a little bit more polishing, before I can release it though.

@huanga Oh, I see. I don't really need it, I just wanted to know how you did it.

@huanga That's cool. I hope people who need it can use it in the future.
