The problem it solves

If you rely on automated processes to run parts of your business, losing that setup to an accident or a bad edit can be a real headache. Remembering to back it up manually, and then cleaning out old backups, is easy to let slide.

Who it fits

A business or ops team relying on automated processes who wants backups handled without remembering to do it.

How it works

  1. On a daily schedule, the automation pulls a full copy of every automated process
  2. Each one is saved as its own file inside a new, timestamped folder
  3. The files are uploaded to a designated Google Drive folder
  4. Once the folder count passes your limit, the oldest backups are deleted automatically
What you get

Automation backups you never remember to make

Your automated processes get backed up to Google Drive every day, with old backups cleared out automatically.

What you get

A daily, timestamped backup folder in Google Drive, with old backups cleared out automatically.

What you need

A Google Drive account and API access to the system running your automated processes.

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.
