Back up your database automatically to two cloud providers

Your database is backed up daily, verified for integrity, and stored redundantly across two cloud providers.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues; runs once per each database.

Pattern: Parallel Split (2) · Synchronisation (3) · Multiple Instances without Synchronization (12)

The problem it solves

Manually backing up your database is easy to forget and hard to verify, and one missed backup can mean losing everything if something goes wrong. You need to know your backups actually work, not just that a file exists somewhere. Juggling multiple storage providers by hand adds even more room for error.

Who it fits

A business or IT team responsible for keeping a MySQL database safe and recoverable.

How it works

  1. The backup runs automatically on a daily schedule or on demand
  2. Each database is exported and checked with a checksum to confirm it's intact
  3. The backup is compressed to save space
  4. Copies are uploaded to two separate cloud storage providers
  5. Old backups are cleared out and the team gets a status report
What you get

Backups verified and stored in two places

Your database gets backed up daily, checked for integrity, and stored safely across two separate cloud providers.

What you get

A verified, compressed database backup stored in two places, plus a report and team notification.

What you need

A MySQL database, AWS S3 and Google Cloud Storage accounts, a Slack workspace, and Google Sheets.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
