Sometimes, you might want to have multiple versions of your backup in different folders in your storage drive. You can do this by creating multiple Backup Projects with the same schedule, but choosing different folders from your storage drive.

By default in On2Air Backups, we override each backup with a new version in the same folder. You can still use Revision History in your storage drive to view each backup version. The workaround to this is to create multiple Backup Projects.

Using Multiple Folders

To do this, you can create multiple Backup Projects with the same data. Each Backup Project has its own schedule, own bases, and its own folder from your storage drive.

So you would create 2 different Backup Projects with the same base(s), set the same schedule, then choose a different folder in each Project.

Now, both Backup Projects will backup at the same time, but into different folders.

⚠️
Each paid plan includes a certain amount of Backup Projects, Airtable bases, records, and attachments. Please keep this in mind when using this multi-project method as it may exceed your current plan. - See all plan options

How to Set Up Multiple Backup Projects with Different Folders

  • Create 2 folders in your storage drive - 1 for each backup location. It would be best to give them names that include 1 and 2, so you can tell them apart.
  • Create your 1st Backup Project
  • Choose the 1st backup folder from your drive
  • Choose your Schedule time
  • Add the Airtable base(s) you want for the backup
  • Click Start Backup
  • Create a 2nd Backup Project
  • Choose the 2nd backup folder from your drive
  • Choose the same Schedule time
  • Choose the same Airtable base(s)
  • Click Start Backup
