My plan is to implement backups for TiddlyWiki5 within an updated TiddlyFox.
> A couple of them, such as download, could add a backup option out of the box; or add a way to manually select a saver to use for backup. The download saver already supports backups, if you make Chrome download a new file each time you save. It's not super convenient, but it's fairly robust. > 1 - What is the current best strategy for auto-backup TW5 files (I'm currently serving my wikis through dropbox. Perhaps I could put my dropbox TW folder inside my google drive folder?) Dropbox keeps a version history for files, so you'll already have a backup :) I believe it's limited to 30 days unless your a paid customer. > 2 - If indeed TW5 radically changed its approach to versioning, what is the history and thinking behind this change? What were the trade-offs involved that led to this change? The approach to versioning hasn't changed: neither TWC nor TW5 natively supports tiddler versioning. We added it via TiddlyWeb/TiddlySpace to TWC, but the only current approach for TW5 is to use the Node.js edition and keep the tiddler files in GitHub. But I think you mean backup; it has only changed inasmuch as I wanted to move support for backups into TiddlyFox, so that the backup policies could be configured across all local wikis in one place. But, as I say, backups are not yet implemented in TiddlyFox. Best wishes Jeremy.
