The problem it solves

If your automation server ever crashes or needs to be rebuilt, you could lose every saved login and API key it depends on, with no easy way to get them back. Digging through server files to export this data by hand is technical, easy to forget, and easy to get wrong.

Who it fits

Whoever manages a self-hosted automation server for the business, usually an IT lead or technical operator.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system connects to the server that runs your automation platform
  2. It runs the built-in command that exports all saved credentials
  3. The exported file is picked up from the server
  4. A timestamped copy is uploaded to a chosen Google Drive folder
What you get

Credentials safely backed up every day

Your automation server's saved logins are backed up automatically every day, so a lost or corrupted server never means starting your integrations from scratch.

What you get

A timestamped backup file of your automation platform's saved credentials, stored safely in Google Drive.

What you need

A self-hosted automation server with SSH access, and a Google Drive account.

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.
