Adding an app to your backup is quick and easy with ProBackup. Simply click the “+” icon in the navigation bar, then select the app you wish to back up.

1. Sign in to your app

You will be asked to sign in to your app account to authorise ProBackup. If you are already signed in, you will be redirected to the app’s authorisation page.

2. Authorize ProBackup

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

3. Select backup scope

After authorisation, you will be redirected to ProBackup to confirm which workspaces should be included in the backup.

Note: For some apps (e.g. HubSpot), this step will be skipped as ProBackup will automatically back up the entire account.

4. Google Drive sync (optional)

You can choose to enable synchronisation with Google Drive. While ProBackup stores all backed-up data and metadata securely on our encrypted servers, this option allows you to store an additional copy in a secure Google Drive folder for easier access.

This step is entirely optional and can be skipped.

5. Confirm and start backup

In the final step, confirm your settings to start your first backup. The duration of the initial backup depends on the size of your account and may take several hours. You will receive an email notification once it is complete.
