How it works

From connect to restore
in under two minutes.

Backup247 sits next to your no-code stack and quietly captures every change. Here is exactly what happens — from the first OAuth handshake to a one-click restore.

The three steps

Set it up once. Forget it forever

01
Takes 60 seconds

Connect

Authorise Backup247 with OAuth — Airtable, Notion or Firebase. No API keys to manage, no webhooks to configure. We request the minimum scopes needed to read your data and write restores back when you ask us to.

02
Per-resource cadence

Schedule

Pick a cadence per base or workspace — hourly, every 4 hours, daily, or anything in between. Set retention windows independently: keep 365 days for production, 30 days for reference data. The first snapshot starts immediately so you are protected from minute one.

03
365 days of history

Sleep

Backup247 takes it from here. Snapshots run on schedule, attachments are captured alongside records, and a unified calendar shows every backup across every tool. Need to restore? Pick a moment, diff it against today, and roll back in one click.

What you get

One dashboard. Every backup.

After connect + schedule, this is the view you live in — backup health, recent snapshots and connector status in a single screen.

Live health overview

Total backups, last run, storage used and failed jobs — across every connected tool.

Recent backups feed

Per resource: records captured, size, status and time — failures highlighted instantly.

Connectors at a glance

Every workspace you have linked, with last-tested status and one-click add-connector.

Behind the scenes

What actually happens during a backup

A snapshot is more than a database dump. Here is how Backup247 captures, stores and protects each one.

Full snapshots, not just diffs

Every backup is a complete, queryable copy of your data at that exact moment — schema, records, linked relations and attachments. You never have to replay a chain of incremental changes to get back to a usable state.

Encrypted at rest and in transit

All snapshots are written to a private object store with AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit and signed-URL access only. Nothing is publicly reachable, even by accident.

Tenant-isolated storage

Each organisation gets its own logically isolated storage path, enforced at the infrastructure layer — not just behind an application check. On Scale plans you can bring your own S3 or R2 bucket.

Anomaly alerts

If a backup fails, a snapshot is unexpectedly small, or a sudden mass-delete is detected, we email and notify in-app immediately so a silent failure never costs you a weekend.

Connect everything

Link every workspace you rely on

From one screen you can add, monitor and manage every connector. Green means healthy, grey means it needs attention.

Multi-workspace grid

Connect every client base, team workspace or project tool. Each card shows the name, type and live status in one glance.

Tested & active status

Green dot means the connector is healthy and the last test passed. No guessing whether a backup source is still reachable.

One-click to backups

Jump straight to a workspace's backup history, schedule or restore flow from the connector card — no extra navigation.

Step 1 — Pick your tool

Start by choosing what to back up

The first thing you do in Backup247 is pick a source. Each connector knows how to back up structure, data and attachments — and how to restore them safely.

Choose a tool

Select which no-code tool you want to back up.

Lifecycle of a snapshot

Six things happen, every single backup

Step 01

Trigger

Scheduled cron fires, or you click Run now.

Step 02

Capture

We page through the API, capturing schema, records and attachments in parallel.

Step 03

Encrypt & store

Snapshot is compressed, encrypted, and written to your tenant-isolated bucket.

Step 04

Index

Indexed for fast browse, search and diff against any prior snapshot.

Step 05

Verify

Integrity check runs against the manifest; any drift triggers an alert.

Step 06

Available

The snapshot appears on your calendar, ready to browse or restore.

Security

Your data, your boundaries

Backup247 is built so that a worst-case incident on our side cannot become a worst-case incident on yours. Every layer assumes the next one might fail.

  • OAuth scopes limited to read + write-back on demand
  • Row-level security on every Postgres query
  • AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit
  • Private buckets, signed-URL access only
  • Bring your own S3 or R2 bucket on Scale plans
  • Full audit log of every restore and member action

FAQ

Common questions

How long does the first backup take?

For most Airtable or Notion workspaces, the first full snapshot completes in 2–10 minutes. Subsequent snapshots are usually faster because we parallelise the capture across tables.

What happens if a scheduled backup fails?

We automatically retry with exponential backoff. If it still fails, you get an email and an in-app alert with the exact reason — expired OAuth, rate limit, schema change, etc.

Can I restore a single record instead of a whole table?

Yes. Restores work at any level — single field, single record, full table, or the entire workspace. You pick the scope before confirming.

Are attachments included?

Yes. Files, images and PDFs attached to records are captured in the same snapshot and restore correctly linked, not as orphans.

Do you store my data forever?

Only as long as your retention window says. After that, snapshots are permanently deleted. You set the window per resource.
