I made an App in which customers and clothes are stored (all on their own

I wanted a way to backup the 'store' in TXT files but today I decided to
backup the whole stack on closing the App.
It is primarily needed as backup in case the 'store' gets corrupted.
Any ideas are welcome!
Sounds like you have a good plan. Backing up the stack file is probably
all you need, given how extremely rare file corruption is with Rev.
In fact, in the event that corruption should occur, here's a tip:
When saving a stack file with the "save" command, the Rev engine
automatically makes a temporary backup copy, with the same name of the
stack file preceded with a tilde (e.g., "~MyStack.rev"), which it
deletes after the new file has been written and check-summed.
So if the power cuts off or something else weird happens that results in
an incomplete save, just look for the tilde file and you'll at least
have everything you had since your last completed save.
