The problem it solves

Remembering to back up your files manually is easy to put off, and when something does go wrong you often don't find out until it's too late. You need backups to just happen and someone to tell you right away if one fails.

Who it fits

Businesses or IT teams responsible for keeping server data backed up reliably.

How it works

  1. On a schedule or on demand, the system connects to your source server
  2. It copies the specified files and folders to the target server
  3. It checks whether the backup completed successfully
  4. A status message is sent to Telegram or SMS with the result
What you get

Backups you know completed successfully

You get your server files copied to a safe location on a set schedule, with instant confirmation once it's done.

What you get

A completed backup on the target server plus an immediate success or failure notification.

What you need

SSH access to both servers and a Telegram bot or SMS provider 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.

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