Preview of version: 4

Use case: I have a Tiki on ClearOS. and I want automatic backups of that Tiki to my local computer for safekeeping. These are high level instructions as to how to combine TRIM and Syncthing to do so.

Setup TRIM

Requirements

Configure TRIM to backup your Tiki site

In this example, we will add an instance named ii. notresuite.com. TRIM and TIKI are in the same server. Pay attention where to input 127.0.0.1.
