Extract text from AromaBackup metadata files (BACKUPINFO)

To convert other file formats to the "Minecraft Mod File" file type, you need software like AromaBackup or a similar tool.
A .backupinfo file is a metadata descriptor created by AromaBackup, a popular server and world backup modification for Minecraft. It stores crucial backup details like timestamps, file paths, and world states to help the mod manage automatic backups.
The main disadvantage of the .backupinfo format is that users frequently confuse this tiny metadata file with the actual world backup archive. It is proprietary to the AromaBackup mod and useless on its own. Without the accompanying ZIP archive, you cannot restore a world. Furthermore, because it is an obscure game mod file, standard online converters fail to process it. Server administrators often need to extract the data from this file to log or organize their server backups externally.
Converting .backupinfo to TXT or JSON is the best practical approach. This extracts the plain text data, allowing server admins to read the backup logs without launching the game or installing the mod. The raw text is preserved, though the mod will no longer recognize the renamed file.
Because this is an obscure, highly specialized format, standard tools cannot handle it. Often, only the original game mod can properly read the file.
