File Backups

TiddlyWiki html-file saving and backup, using a Tower of Hanoi strategy! Learn more at: https://pmario.github.io/file-backups/ Video: recoreded with V0.2.1 https://youtu.be/KVLtID8nElU which is slightly outdated. But overall info is OK.

This browser add on is designed to let you easily save and backup TiddlyWikis. It is a file-based system for a single user. If you’d like your TiddlyWiki available over the network or in the cloud, please check out other options at “Getting Started With TiddlyWiki”[1].

This add on should work with any browser that supports web-extensions. So far it’s been tested with FireFox 56 … up to FF 74 beta (2020.03.10).

It will save TiddlyWiki5 and TiddlyWikiClassic files. For TiddlyWikiClassic the TW internal backup mechanism is switched of!
