🚀 MinePanel v1.7.0 — Backup & Restore Update

Today I'm excited to announce MinePanel v1.7.0, introducing one of the biggest features since the project started:

Backup & Restore System

Server owners can now create, manage, verify and restore backups directly from the web panel without accessing the server through SSH or FTP.

This update also includes multiple stability improvements and community-reported bug fixes from the previous version.
