The problem it solves

If your server crashes or you migrate to a new one, rebuilding every automation and reconnecting every login from scratch can take days. A single bad update or server failure can otherwise wipe out months of setup work.

Who it fits

Business owners running self-hosted automations who want a safety net if the server fails or needs to move.

How it works

  1. You trigger the restore process and choose whether to restore automations, logins, or both
  2. The system finds your most recent backup automatically
  3. It restores your saved logins first, keeping them securely encrypted
  4. It restores every automation from that backup, skipping the restore tool itself to avoid conflicts
  5. You receive an email summary of what was restored
What you get

Automations restored without you hunting for backups

One click finds your latest backup and restores your automations along with their saved logins.

What you get

Your automations and saved account connections restored to their last backed-up state, plus a summary email.

What you need

A self-hosted server with regular backups saved to disk, and an email account for notifications.

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.
