Saving with backups #31

Open buggyj opened 9 years ago

buggyj commented 9 years ago

I have a version of tiddlyfox saving with backups that keeps a once a day copy (into a subfolder called backups): https://github.com/buggyj/TiddlyFox/tree/saver but this uses the true ff libs not the sdk (which is 500k of api mangling!). I think the sdk apis will have equivalents to the ff apis. What type of control of backups are you going to give to the user? According to the docs none of the ui, panel or context-menu modules of the sdk will work with android - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tutorials/Mobile_development.

Hi @buggyj have you seen the backup support in TiddlyDesktop? The backup path is templated so that the user can elect to keep backups relative to their parent TW file, or in a central location, with a path reflecting their actual location.

I'd like to support a range of pluggable backup retention policies, but we can start with just keep all vs. keep one per day.
