Hello everyone,

I'm using TiddlyDesktop to access my Wiki's and I was looking for a way to stop or at least reduce the backups (I wasn't able just to leave the path empty).

I'm used to "CTRL + S" a lot, so my backup folders get pretty quickly big and since I'm storing on my NAS on which I use HDD's, it creates useless writings.

Thanks in advance !

At least on 0.0.13, each TW file has an "advanced" option in the main TD console. Click on "advanced" and there is an option to turn off backups.

At least 3 times my TW was corrupted (or I modified the TW and I regretted it later) in the past year. I was always able to go back to a previous version. Definitely I wouldn't disable the backup feature.

This is what I do: Every week (or every X number of days, your preference), I delete all previous versions except the last one of each day (i.e. I keep the latest version of each weekday) and delete the rest.
