Feature request: cron job for exporting data #172

Chris,

After recent dramas, it (re-)occurred to me that it would be nice to have a feature that automatically did an export of the TF data every day.

I realise this is more a wish list item compared to other higher-priority jobs but it is also occurred to me this morning that I could do what I wanted by making use of your extract.js set up and a normal cron job - so if a built-in enhancement is not likely for the foreseeable future, I will get that working.

Thanks again for all your help and a great app - I couldn't get by without it these days!

Regards, Phil.

Phil, TF itself doesn't have enough access to the system to run cron jobs, but you can certainly set one up as you described. This is a design limitation of Chromium to keep extensions sandboxed.

Timed backup is open as #21, so I'm closing this one as a duplicate.

Thanks for the kind words!
