Auto-backup of all reports to cloud storage

Purpose

1.1. Automate the secure backup of all asbestos inspection and testing reports to designated cloud storage to ensure data redundancy, regulatory compliance, and disaster recovery.
1.2. Automatedly centralize documents for quick retrieval during audits, client requests, or legal proceedings.
1.3. Automating report archiving to mitigate manual errors and standardize record retention as required for environmental professional services.
1.4. Streamline client communication workflows by automating report sharing from a cloud repository.
1.5. Reduce IT resource allocation through continuous, automatable offsite backup processes.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automation initiates when a new asbestos report PDF or document is generated or finalized in the internal reporting system.
2.2. Automates based on timed scheduling (e.g., nightly, hourly) to batch-upload newly added documentation.
2.3. Automated monitoring of specific network folders or document management solutions for new or modified files.
2.4. Automates when a manual request (push-button) is triggered by an authorized staff user.
2.5. Can be configured to automate upon receiving digital signatures, marking reports as complete.
