Ok, placing it near the end is better. Maybe even better to put in
some "GTG for advanced users" section if you have any of those.

Reading my mind, are you? :))))

Check the changes in the shared Google Doc with topic outline, I've added a new section for Advanced Users of GTG which now contains, apart from the Installation of Daily PPA, two Izidor's ideas for creating personal backends and plugins...

No, we don't have an explcit backup option (hmm, interesting. Plugin,
anyone?). The data is stored in .local/share/gtg or
$XDG_DATA_HOME/share/gtg if it is set.

The user data is replicated in this folder so that if GTG crashes,
there are backuped copies available. To backup/archive GTG data, the
use should backup this folder, and .config/gtg or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtg

Ok, will be included in the Backup your GTG Data topic, at least until somebody comes up with a plugin... ;)


Cheers,
R.
