Automatic Backups

[chriswade]

I am looking for a way to automatically backup our Revit Models when they are hosted on another company's BIM 360's account.

For example, we are Company XYZ and our client is Company ABC. Company ABC creates the folders and everything on their account, which is where we place our models as well. But we need to be able to keep a copy of our models long term (in the event Company ABC stops paying for BIM 360 or shuts down, etc. we would loose access to our work).

The backups could be to our local system or to another cloud Drive or even to our BIM360 account, but the key part is that it is automatic (ideally every time the model is changed, but timed backups could work too).

Autodesk Bridge works perfectly for keeping your Revit files on your hub and bridging them across to another hub. It only works within Autodesk Construction Cloud projects, not within the "older" BIM360 platform projects.

And it now works great with the share/package/consume workflow

The best thing is, as long as the correct permissions have been setup by the BIM Lead, there is no difference in the BIM Leads workflows.

The "Sub" consultants can setup and manage the bridge from their HUB  all by themselves, therefore the owner of the main HUB only needs one member from the other company in their project: a lot cleaner and easier to manage

Yes, Bridge works well for newer projects, assuming the lead sets everything up correctly, but that doesn't always happen AND doesn't work for older projects.
