## How to back up your Chronometrist data
|

I suggest backing up Chronometrist data on each save. Here's how you can do that.

||||
I suggest backing up Chronometrist data on each save using the [async-backup](https://tildegit.org/contrapunctus/async-backup) package.<sup><a id="fnr.3" class="footref" href="#fn.3" role="doc-backlink">3</a></sup> Here's how you can do that.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Add the following to your init.
|
||||

(setq backup-by-copying t

kept-new-versions 10
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
(defun my-force-backup ()
|
||||
(setq buffer-backed-up nil))
|
||||
2. Open your Chronometrist file and add the function to `before-save-hook`.
|
||||
(use-package async-backup)
|
||||
2. Open your Chronometrist file and add `async-backup` to a buffer-local `after-save-hook`.

|
||||
M-x add-file-local-variable-prop-line RET eval RET (add-hook 'after-save-hook #'async-backup nil t) RET
|
||||
3. Optionally, configure `backup-directory-alist` to set a specific directory for the backups.
