Prevent this with the following entry in your .taskrc file:

Q:
Q: How do I backup my task data files? Where are they?
</b>
<br />
A:
A: Task writes all pending tasks to the file ~/.task/pending.data
and all completed and deleted tasks to ~/.task/completed.data.
They are text files, so they can just be copied to another
location for safekeeping. Don't forget there is also the
~/.taskrc file that contains your task configuration data.

Q: How can I separate my work tasks from my home tasks?
Specifically, can I keep them completely separate?
</b>
<br />
A: You can do this by creating an alternate .taskrc file,
then using shell aliases. Here is are example Bash
commands to achieve this:
<pre><code>% cp ~/.taskrc ~/.taskrc_home
% (now edit .taskrc_home to change the value of data.location)
% alias wtask="task"
% alias htask="task rc:~/.taskrc_home"</code></pre>
This gives you two commands, 'wtask' and 'htask' that
operate using two different sets of task data files.
