backing up .void.db file

[toidiu]

Does anyone have a solution to backup the .void.db file. A private/public gist or github repo would be ideal.

A general and agnostic implementation would be to enable pre and post hooks for void. (pre-open?? post-close??). This would allow the implementation details for backups and other operations to be though out later.

git back up implementation assuming pre/post hooks

personally I use void only on one computer so my commands would look as follows

• pre-hook would do a git pull
• post-hook would do a git push
• failure due to network or other reasons would fail silently.. maybe a place to show error messages within void??

i wanted the same thing, just wrote a simple bash script to do it.

then a script to git pull, add, commit, push, etc...

then add an alias to .bashrc

alias void='wrap.sh -F "~/scripts/on_void_close.sh --push" void'
alias void-log='git -C ~/backup/voiddb log'

I'm realizing now that while this works, git isn't a great solution as the void db file is binary.

I made db files human readable and editable with any text editor
