Backup please
Mar 19, 2019
Today many of the images in my past courses disappeared for a period of around two or more hours. We were sweating buckets here when we discovered this when we opened an old module merely to change a line of text.
And, in that same moment we were thinking of all the months of work that we have put in, and the difficulty of finding the same content again from the content library if we ever had to rebuild a module. This not helped as the images from the content library appear almost randomly when you use a key word search.
So, is there any way please Articulate to create a backup option for our courses, as if one day for any reason you lose our online content we are in deep deep trouble.
All of our other cloud providers allow us to create a safety back up of our data.
Feature request please.
Regards,
Stan

I have never been an advocate for backups in Rise but this has raised a question I would love to know the answer for, what happens if you use an image from the content library that then gets removed from the content library is is still a part of the current course?
There are several threads about the backup issue including this one:

Hi Phil,
When the image is inserted it becomes part of the course. So if we “removed” it from Content Library, it would still be a part of their course.
Hi Stan,
Thank you for leaving a comment, I understand where you're coming from in terms of wanting to ensure your course content is secure. Please submit a feature request here with more details about exactly what you’d like to see. Thank you in advance.
Thanks, Nicole,
I've now requested via the link a Simple Archival Backup for Created Content, this to preserve intellectual property in the case of loss of facilities or loss of data integrity. This to be similar to that offered by other Cloud-Based Services.
Some of our customers in regulated industries demand archival fallback to preserve their investments in created content. This doesn't imply offline modification of content or the ability to shift to a different provider. Just plain old practical continuity planning.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do that Stan. We truly do appreciate feature requests. Have a great day!
