One for windows, one for linux / mac. The documentation also contains links to howto videos, to give users an overview, what's going on. see: [BETA] - TiddlySpace Backup Scripts <http://[BETA] - TiddlySpace Backup Scripts> The scripts will let you download xxx_private.html and xxx_public.html files, that should be functional. xxx_private.html contains private and public tiddlers xxx_public.html conains public tiddlers only! The easiest way to test a local version is: - download your TWs - unplug from the internet, to disconnect from external links (eg: external images) - edit a tiddler and - save - reload and see if it worked. If it worked. ... fine. If not ... this forum may help. But what I see is everyone behaving quite normally and going about their > daily lives as if the sky is not about to fall down.

Since TiddlyWiki is designed to be used offline, you should be fine, as soon as you have a backup html file or a json file. My scripts are intended, to download a working copy. ... html-files and some "pure content" ... .json-files, .recipe-files With these files, it should be possible to completely recreate the whole server-side structure in the future. ... or You can strip out the server-side stuff and just keep the offline content. ... > I'm thinking I've missed something?

See info above! tiddlyspace will be shut down and the content will be deleted. see: http://osmo-service.tiddlyspace.com/ServiceUpdate20160826 second paragraph: (I did mark the important stuff with: yello background) The Tiddlyspace service is to cease *on or before 15th December 2016*.

So it should be possible to migrate the content. *BUT *be aware that the content itself is not 100% compatible and depending on the TWclassic macros / plugins you use.
