The problem it solves

Losing your automation setup because of a server crash or accidental change means rebuilding everything from scratch. You need copies saved somewhere safe, but remembering to do it manually is easy to forget.

Who it fits

Operations teams and technical staff who rely on automated workflows and need reliable backups.

How it works

  1. On a schedule or manual trigger, the system gathers your current workflow files
  2. It packages the data into a backup file
  3. The backup is uploaded to your Nextcloud storage with version history kept
  4. You end up with a safe, dated copy you can restore from anytime
What you get

Workflow files safely recoverable after any mishap

You get dated, versioned backups of your workflow files stored safely in Nextcloud, ready to restore whenever you need them.

What you get

A versioned backup file stored safely in Nextcloud.

What you need

A Nextcloud account with API access.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
