may be useful! The below code is a Windows batch file to create a backup of your Tiddlywiki files. This is useful specially when you work with Node.js version Tiddlywiki which have a lot of tiddlers.
The script: 1. always create an identical copy of source tiddlers 2. create version-incremented copies of all files differ from their source (you may change a tiddler in source or backup folder) 3. version number started from 000 ~ 999, so this is maximum number of versions 4. use robocopy which is very fast method for creating backups How to use 1. Change the source and destination folders to meet your case 2. run the batch file file: vc-backup.cmd :: Ref: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23427327/How-to-use-Robocopy-to-create-files-Versions.html :: Running the script will first Robocopy any files which don't already exist in the destination, :: then use xcopy to create version-incremented copies of any files which do exist in the destination. :: Mohammad Rahmani :: Github: https://github.com/kookma :: Rev 0.9 :: Apr 8th, 2019 @echo off cls :: Source and destination paths.
