Backing Up Document Accounts

Document does not back up an account’s files on its own. To keep a second copy of them — in an account on another cloud provider, for example — copy them with a workflow and run it on a schedule:

1. Create a workflow with a Copy Document Directory step.
2. Under Copy Directory, choose the account and the folder to back up.
3. Under Select Destination, choose the account to copy into and the folder to place the copy in.
4. Schedule the workflow to run, for example nightly. See Schedule a Workflow.

Several accounts can share one backup account: give each copy its own name by ticking Rename the Copied Folder to: and naming it after the account it came from, so their folders never collide.

Caution

Copy Document Directory overwrites anything at the destination that has the same name, so each run replaces the previous copy rather than keeping a history of copies.
