Zyb is saying (I think) that the failure occurred silently. That is, it didn't announce that it wasn't saving. So your method would fail just like the DropBox method, because no new edits were being saved to disk.
Maybe TW needs to make a bigger fuss when a save fails so that the user knows to stop working. It already does this when running on node.js. -- Mark On Friday, March 9, 2018 at 11:12:37 AM UTC-8, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > Ciao Zyb > > To the people suggesting backups: You’re aware, right? that we are talking >> about unsaved (and unsavable), ‘dirty’ files here, for which the backup >> process (simultaneous to the save) has already failed >> > > ABSOLUTELY.
