"Backup" a Board every 24 Hours

Platform discussions Special workflows & use cases
1

I have a board that everyone in my company (50 people) has access to edit (and needs to have access to edit). While they can’t delete the board, they could accidentally make changes that really mess things up. Yes, we can always check the audit log to see those changes and reverse them, we can also check the Recycle Bin for deleted items. However, this is very manual.

Does anyone know of a native feature or integration (Zapier, etc), where I can have Monday automatically export a Board to Google/Box/Dropbox/etc on a variable basis, like every 24 hours? Any workaround or patchwork solution is welcome!

I don’t believe Monday has any version or backup features, something that surprised me.

Thank you!

Joel

I believe Integromat to be the droid you are looking for

Hey @jhenry, this is a great idea! At the moment there is not data backup for users to access, like you mentioned. Would you be able to add this as a feature request here? Then there’s a greater chance this will get looked at :blush:

Hi everyone!
For those who are interested in a solution for Monday backup and restore, check out FluentPro Backup. It provides automated continuous Monday.com backup and restore. The platform allows you to select how often to back up all projects or specific data. The backup process runs continuously, saving a new version whenever changes are made. When data is altered, damaged, or lost, you can restore a point-in-time backup version.

Hi Joel,

This may not be a solution but you could manually duplicate the board and store it in another workspace that you only have access to ? It wouldn’t take much time to do it and you could set up an automation to remind you to do it every day ?

There is also a way to do that for a full workspace using the monday app creation. more info here : Workspace templates

This is what I use to archive a workspace every week.

I know this isn’t fully automatic but it works pretty well.

Hi @jhenry , I know this is an old topic but if you’re still looking for a solution then I can recommend Pro Backup for monday.com: It’s a backup & restore app built by our team that backs up your monday.com boards every 24 hours. There is also an option to sync your data backups to Google Drive. This sync covers both items/comments/fields and files.

Here’s a youtube tutorial that gives more info on the sync to Google Drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYjtg9tDPgE
