Hey everyone! 😊 I just built an Inventory Tracker using HTML and I'm looking for ways to automate backups to protect my data. I'm curious if anyone has recommendations or best practices for backing up a static HTML site like this? Since I update the tracker regularly, I need something simple and reliable for automating the backup process. Thanks for any tips! 🙏

You might want to consider using rsync for your backups. I've relied on it for years, especially when managing various servers and websites. With a simple cron job, you can automate it to run at intervals. Just set up SSH keys for secure access, and you're good to go for disaster recovery! It's highly reliable and straightforward.
If your inventory data is stored in the browser's local storage, you should back it up separately from your HTML files. A good way to do this is to export your data to JSON or CSV every time you save. Then, schedule a daily task to copy that file to cloud storage and keep multiple versions. If you're using git for version control, make sure to push your changes to a private repo as well to track your code history.
What exactly are you trying to back up? Is it the code for your tracker or the actual data? Knowing where your inventory data is stored could help determine the best backup method.
