Need help - any backup by default?

[Luka]

Please help!

Leo did not save my .leo file, so I have zero size file with all data lost. Does leo make any backup files by default, so that I could restore my data?

I found a copy of my .leo file in the system tmp directory! Today I am lucky. Actually it was a reminder for me to always make backups of everything. The problem seems to be not in Leo, but in the file system in this case.

Whew! Glad to hear it.  I have gotten into the habit of saving frequently (not just with Leo), and backing up my drive frequently, too.

I suggest backing up to a free GitHub repo. It should be safer than physical backups.

Yes, there's a place for both.  I usually have a lot of files or even projects that don't seem to fit a Github repo.  I don't feel inclined to echo my whole hard drive to Github, and anyway, I re-organize parts often enough that keeping a Github repo up with them would be a real pain.

I do have some of those things in my own on-computer Mercurial repo, though.

Thank you! I wrote a bash script with the following logic:

1) Auto-commit every day during startup

2) Backup full repo on a separate computer every week.

Sounds like a good plan.
