### FAQ

|
> Will a previous save be overwritten immediately after I start tmux?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No, first automatic save starts 15 minutes after tmux is started. If automatic
|
||
|
|
restore is not enabled, that gives you enough time to manually restore from a
|
||
|
|
previous save.

|
> I want to make a restore to a previous point in time, but it seems that save
|
||
|
|
is now overwritten?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
None of the previous saves are deleted (unless you explicitly do that). All save
|
||
|
|
files are kept in `~/.tmux/resurrect/` directory.<br/>
|
||
|
|
Here are the steps to restore to a previous point in time:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- make sure you start this with a "fresh" tmux instance
|
||
|
|
- `$ cd ~/.tmux/resurrect/`
|
||
|
|
- locate the save file you'd like to use for restore (file names have a timestamp)
|
||
|
|
- symlink the `last` file to the desired save file: `$ ln -sf <file_name> last`
|
||
|
|
- do a restore with `tmux-resurrect` key: `prefix + Ctrl-r`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should now be restored to the time when `<file_name>` save happened.

> Will this plugin fill my hard disk?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most likely no. A regular save file is in the range of 5Kb. That said, it
|
||
|
|
would be good to clean out old save files from `~/.tmux/resurrect/` dir from
|
||
|
|
time to time.

|
> How do I change the save interval to i.e. 1 hour?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The interval is always measured in minutes. So setting the interval to `60`
|
||
|
|
(minutes) will do the trick. Put this in `.tmux.conf`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
set -g @continuum-save-interval '60'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and then source `tmux.conf` by executing this command in the shell
|
||
|
|
`$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> How do I stop automatic saving?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just set the save interval to `0`. Put this in `.tmux.conf`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
set -g @continuum-save-interval '0'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and then source `tmux.conf` by executing this command in the shell
|
||
|
|
`$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> I had automatic restore turned on, how do I disable it now?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just remove `set -g @continuum-restore 'on'` from `tmux.conf`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To be absolutely sure automatic restore doesn't happen, create a
|
||
|
|
`tmux_no_auto_restore` file in your home directory (command:
|
||
|
|
`$ touch ~/tmux_no_auto_restore`). Automatic restore won't happen if this file
|
||
|
|
exists.
