Data backup and archival of important files

Purpose

1.1. Automate the backup and archival of sensitive and operationally critical files to ensure regulatory compliance, protect intellectual property, secure contracts, and guarantee disaster recovery for manufacturing engravers.
1.2. Automatedly organize, store, and protect CAD designs, client files, certifications, compliance records, and project documentation with retention scheduling and instant restore capabilities.
1.3. Enable automating offsite storage, geo-redundancy, versioning, and immutable archiving to withstand ransomware, accidental deletion, and audit demands.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New or modified files detected in a designated folder or shared drive.
2.2. Scheduled time-based automation (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly).
2.3. User-initiated manual backup requests.
2.4. Workflow event triggers (e.g., client approval, order finalization, certification achievement).
2.5. Automated detection of file versioning or regulatory deadline.
