BIMCloud SaaS - "Offsite" back-ups?

[Blair_C]

Interested to know, is anyone storing back-ups in addition to the SaaS default snapshots?

If so, how is this done?

It's not good practice to only ever have one back-up copy and only on the same server as your active server.

While acknowledging that it appears Google is stashing these back-ups somewhere for us, the below description from the SaaS guide doesn't inspire confidence that we could get timely access to them should something fail with SaaS itself.

Snapshot Files Location

Snapshot files are saved to an external location in the Google storage system. This location is not configurable."

Hi all, I have created a BIMcloud backup app - if anyone is interested in testing, let me know.

Hi Davor 

We would be - is this Windows only (we are an all Mac environment)?

Thanks for your work on this.

Hi Kevin,

Windows only for now. Would need to see how complex it would be to create a Mac version. It would also depend on the uptake - if low interest in Windows version, then might not be viable.

Hi Davor 

Thanks for the reply

Will wait and see how you get on - is unbelievable really that this isn't something GS have built in.

We're considering a switch to BIMCloud SaaS - so this would be a very usable tool for us.
