This article explains how to add your first app to ProBackup and start your daily automated backups. Follow these steps when setting up ProBackup for the first time.

Prerequisites

  • A ProBackup account

  • Admin or member access to the app you want to back up

How to connect your first app

  1. Click the "+" icon in the navigation bar and select the app you want to back up.

  2. Sign in to your app account to authorise ProBackup. If you are already signed in, you will be redirected to the authorisation page.

  3. On the authorisation page, approve ProBackup to access your account.

  4. Select which workspaces should be included in the backup.

  5. Optionally, connect your Google Drive to store an additional copy of your backed-up data. You can skip this step and enable it later from Settings > Google Drive.

  6. Confirm your settings to start your first backup.

Your initial backup may take several hours depending on the size of your account. You will receive an email once it is complete.

Notes

  • For some apps (e.g. HubSpot), the workspace selection step is skipped because ProBackup automatically backs up the entire account.

  • ProBackup stores all data securely on encrypted servers, regardless of whether Google Drive sync is enabled.

  • You can adjust your backup scope at any time from the Scope tab.
