Beaware, that logseq uses a markdown structure thats non standard and its built-in sync is prone to data loss. → [[Notizen machen]] (de), #skill/pkm ## File Versioning **[[Git]]** is a great for collaboration and to keep snapshots of code and notes. My personal favourite Git GUI is [Sourcetree](https://www.sourcetreeapp.com), but the beauty of git is you can use any GUI you like. Timestamps are a great alternative to version numbers. → [[ISO8601 and Files]] ## Backup Strategies Neat and storage saving: local *snapshots* of project folders with [rsync](https://rsync.samba.org) or rsync GUI like [RsyncUI for macOS](https://rsyncui.netlify.app). Neat Guide: [Easy Automated Snapshot-Style Backups with Rsync and Linux](http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/). To get rsync on windows, you can use WSL. Using [rclone](https://rclone.org) to backup the whole dir to a remote destination is also good. → [[Scripting and automation]], [[Automation on macOS]], [[Cronjobs]] ## Data Protection Keeping personal data safe is just as important as FAIR principles for open data.
