Solid Backup - Airtable local backup tool - Anybody heard of it?

Thanks for posting this! It looks like what I’ve been wanting. Obviously I have no experience with it but I may just give a whirl. Have you tried it?

The issue is I can’t even purchase it even if I wanted it. It’s not available to purchase to non-US Apple App Store users. I would have to register US Apple account and they asking now for phone number and whole nine yards. I emailed the author of the app asking if there was a free trial but have not received a response yet. I emailed him also asking to understand how is the backup stored, is it stored in a readable format like CSV and attachments in individual folders or is it a database etc…

However, since it’s on Apple store, it should not be an issue with requesting Apple a refund if it doesn’t work. Right?

Hey @itoldusoandso

We have an Airtable backups app - On2Air Backups - that will export your attachments into Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box.

Hey @itoldusoandso

A new version of Solid was released today ! It is also available on the US App Store.

I’d love to hear your feedback and answer any questions you might have. Feel free to leave a comment or reach out directly!

I have been struggling to come up with a good backup solution that works for my needs within my budget. I found this thread and one review on the Microsoft Store for the app. The Apple App Store says this about it, so I hope any security concerns I have about the developer potentially being able to swipe Personal Access Tokens are completely unfounded. I'm an anxious individual. 

As far as functionality goes, it worked great for my first backup. Downloaded everything quickly, organized it in an easily navigable fashion. I wish it had support for Apple Shortcuts or scheduling regular backups, but for $29.99 it's okay that it doesn't.
