How it works
UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF THE BACKUP AND RESTORE PROCESS
It starts by giving Pro Backup access to your account
During the onboarding flow you’ll need to grant Pro Backup access to your cloud app. In most cases you will be redirected to a webpage of your cloud app.
Pro Backup uses an API to back up your data
An API is a set of definitions and protocols for building and integrating two software apps. By using the API of the cloud app, Pro Backup is able to securely back up and store your data. Keep in mind that each API introduces restrictions which is why it is often not possible to back up and restore every data type of the cloud app.
Pro Backup performs a daily, incremental backup
Each day our backup engine checks which records have been added, updated or deleted and backs up the delta. Pro Backup performs an incremental back up for each data type which means that each record is only counted once.
A snapshot is created each day for each data type
Pro Backup works like a time box where each day a new snapshot of your account is created. Snapshots allows you to not only look up tasks, comments and files, but also configuration info such as custom fields and views.
All updates are synced to Google Sheets
In the first step we store your account’s data with heavy encryption on our servers. In addition to that we also offer the option to sync your backup to your Google Drive. Each snapshots is synced to a Google Sheet that is updated on a daily basis.
Restore data back to your account
Both Snapshots and Recover allow you to create copies back to your account. Creating a copy will not overwrite any existing data. Instead it will create a duplicate from your backup. Please note that this is only possible for the most used data types.
