TiddlyWiki doesn't include any built-in per-tiddler "revision history" functionality, and does not do any kind of automated comparisons with the contents of the backup files. Essentially, while TW operates like a website and has more features/ functionality than many applications, it is really just another kind of document type, much like word processing or spreadsheet files (though without the need for an external 'runtime' application other than a standard web browser). As a general guide, whatever backup strategies you current use in your group for shared word processing and spreadsheet files would be applicable to TW files as well. You can, of course, keep old backup files around for as long as you want to, but they aren't intrinsically *required* for proper operation of any given TW document. Note: there are several plugins that can be used to modify the backup file creation strategy to reduce the number of files that accumulate over time.
