Local and Cloud Backups
Backups only work if they actually happen, consistently, completely, and without relying on anyone to remember. This template automates the full backup cycle for any folder: a local copy for immediate access, a cloud copy for offsite redundancy, and an email confirmation so you know it's done.
Set it up once. Let it run.

Put it to work: how to use this template
- Configure the Folder node with the path of the directory you want to back up.
- Set the Copy node with your local backup destination.
- Connect your Google Drive account and set the target folder for the cloud copy.
- Finally, configure the Gmail node with the recipient address and any details you want included in the confirmation email.
Run the workflow whenever a backup is needed. When it completes, you'll have two copies of your data and an email in your inbox confirming it.
Take it. It's yours.
