I used sponge a lot in scripts where I’ve already checked and validated its behavior. When I’m confident it works I can keep just use sponge for simplicity.

- dspillett 5y agoPerhaps the backups are a separate process, run beforehand or after this process once several changes (perhaps to several files) have been made, so not backing up intermediate states?
- whirlwin 5y agoBackups should be handled by an external process, otherwise, your script also needs to take into account: - Number of backups to retain and cleaning up old versions - Monitoring of backups. What if backing up fails? - The script itself can tamper with the backups unintentionally? Speaking from (bad) experience
