The problem it solves

If your automation system fails or you need to move it to a new server, rebuilding every workflow and login by hand from scratch is slow and risky. Losing a piece of the setup can quietly break things you rely on.

Who it fits

Operations or IT staff responsible for keeping a business's automation system running reliably.

How it works

  1. A restore is started manually when it's needed
  2. The system checks backup storage for the most recent backup
  3. Saved logins and workflow files are downloaded
  4. Everything is restored into the automation system automatically
What you get

Downtime avoided after a system failure

You get your automation setup and logins restored automatically if your system ever needs rebuilding.

What you get

A fully restored automation system with all workflows and logins back in place.

What you need

An FTP or SFTP backup server and a self-hosted automation system.

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.
