My IT department isn’t thrilled with the app being at risk if the company fails or changes the rules or AI costs rise a lot. As president of a small company, I can’t not use it because I have built an industry leading custom quoting and design tool for my sales team. To help satisfy the IT team, I am taking the approach that even if Hercules goes under, we should have the database backed up and a copy of the code base as a template for a similar AI driven platform to use to rebuild the app in short order. I got the database export automated but I can’t find a way to archive the codebase in an automated way. I can do it manually, so just an option to automate that would be great. ---

Hi, There are no automated export features. Exports are not used for backup restoration. They are fine foe keeping a copy of your codebase and app. For automated backup, we have a dedicated scheduled backups feature available on Business plans. You can find this on the Backend page.
