Automated backup of all uploaded art files

**1. Purpose**

1 Ensure all art files uploaded by clients or artists are systematically backed up to secure storage.

2 Prevent accidental loss, corruption, or overwriting of unique creative assets.

3 Enable quick retrieval for revisions, client requests, or regulatory compliance.

4 Support version control, archiving, and remote access for distributed art teams.

5 Automate compliance with client SLAs or internal data retention policies.

**2. Trigger Conditions**

1 Art file upload event detected in the primary file management system (cloud/local).

2 Scheduled backup intervals if event-driven triggers are unavailable.

3 Manual initiation by authorized personnel as an override or for exception handling.

4 Detection of file modification or version increment.

5 API webhook notification from upload portal or content management platform.
