Hi, That sucks. I've been there. Have you tried the Classic version? I personally prefer that one and it has options that you can set to auto-save any changes and to create backups. It is located here: http://classic.tiddlywiki.com -- There are also a lot of plugins and themes already out there because it's been around for a while.
You can set the auto-save and save-backups settings on the "options ยป" panel on the right. Click it and it will show you a panel, then check the boxes. To specify a backup folder, you'd hover your mouse over the top right-hand corner of the screen and it will show you a "backstage" button. Click it and it will open a bar. Click on "tweak" and then at the top of the table, you can see the backups folder name as the third option down. You can also access the aforementioned auto-save and save-backups options here. It's very hard to lose work when using these methods because a copy of your wiki is saved every time you click "done" when editing a tiddler. It's also saved whenever you manually click "save." If your current wiki somehow went wrong, you can even go back to the backups and check them for previous information. You can open them just as you would your main wiki file. There are themes for it here: http://themes.tiddlywiki.com/ Plugins/extensions are here: http://tiddlyvault.tiddlyspot.com/ I hope this helps. I'm yet to lose anything with this method, and have great trust in it.
