Automated Affinity Project File Backups
Every Friday, WebRun checks the studio's shared Affinity project folder for Designer, Photo, or Publisher files changed that week, exports a dated copy of each into an organized Google Drive backup folder, and texts the studio manager a same-day confirmation once the backup completes.
How do I automatically back up Affinity project files every week?
WebRun checks the studio's shared Affinity project folder every Friday for Designer, Photo, or Publisher files changed that week. It exports a dated copy of each into an organized Google Drive backup folder, then texts the studio manager a same-day confirmation with the count backed up, so recent work stays recoverable.
- Every changed project file gets a dated backup copy automatically
- The studio manager gets same-day confirmation the backup ran
- Recent work stays recoverable without manual exporting

Questions, answered
Does it overwrite or edit the original project files?
No. WebRun only reads and exports copies. Your original Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher files stay untouched in their working folder.
How far back can I recover a version?
As far back as your Drive backup folder retains weekly copies, since each week gets its own dated archive rather than overwriting the last one.
What if no files changed that week?
It skips the archive step and still sends a short text confirming there was nothing new to back up.
