Change where backups are saved
TiddlyWiki Community Wiki
By default, selecting 'save changes' will also create a backup copy (by default) of the TiddlyWiki in the same folder as the TiddlyWiki file itself. To avoid the folder filling up with copious backup files, you can create a folder for them.
- Go to '
options' on the right-hand top menu (Sidebar), - Click on 'AdvancedOptions',
- Where it says 'name of folder to use for backups', type in a name for the folder (not the address of the folder),
- Close the AdvancedOptions tiddler.
Go to the folder you keep your TiddlyWiki in. You should now see a new folder with the name you just specified. From now on backups will be stored in this new folder.
The path is relative to the directory where the wiki is saved. For Windows computers, use the Windows backslash path separator (\).
To turn off the automatic backup function, got to 'options' and untick AutoSave.
