Backing up ISY is one of those things we all know we need to do but tend to neglect. It occurred to me that perhaps UD mobile could have a feature that backs up your ISY to your phone's storage. Perhaps each time you launch UD mobile, it looks for your latest backup and if it is older than some period of time (that you can set), then it runs a backup. Now you have an "offsite" backup of your ISY configuration immune to any hardware failure on the Eisy itself.

That's a good idea, but a backup like the one we do in Admin Console would also be great to automate, something like do one automatically when logging into Admin Console if the previous one is more than so many days or weeks old.

Yeah, a message when you open the admin console that tells you how long since the last backup and a link to "backup now" would be another way. Probably easier to implement than UD mobile since currently UD mobile has no backup isy function, just backup your ud mobile. But since some people may go a really long time without opening the admin console but may open UD mobile daily, more likely to get a backup to a storage location that you are sure to have handy. I end up accessing my admin console from a number of computers and have my backups all scattered about and then losing track of where the most recent one is when you need it might be an issue. But certainly better than having no backup or only ancient ones.

Periodic backups is being considered as a portal feature.
