Hello , i am wondering if there is a way to  backup  everything at once on the cloud or we can only download  things manually   one after the other ?  it would take a year 

thanks

There is no "mass backup" option, it's a one-by-one process, unfortunately 😞

You do have the ability to Cache a complete design folder to your hard drive at one time but you need to understand how to use the cached files before doing this method.  Look it up on the web, there are a lot of articles on it.

@jhackney1972 could you link to those articles? My last attempt at caching a project folder gave me a .zip folder with indeed all the project folders in it, but each one was empty, save for any .png images that were in the cloud.

Here are a couple of them.  This one is location of cached files.  Here is the Fusion 360 help file talking about it.

I personally access them directly from the cache folder mentioned in the first article.  You can cache a full project if your like.

Or just a folder which I do most often.

Again I will warn you, the format is a little different and the file names are modified to make the files available to Fusion 360 when working in off-line mode but they are still very useable directly.  Below is the local drive cached files after I cached the folder shown in the last screen capture.  Like I say, you have to get used to it.

Excellent  !  Using the right-click  Cache command   in the  data  window  works  super easy ! Thanks alot  for the answer !! 

i guess   using  the Cache command once and a while  after  working   in the Project folders would just overwrite and update them

I don't understand why this workaround still hasn't been followed up by a decent way to backup all of the Team-hub-contents, and why there's not a lot of information on restoring and/or testing a backup. Does anyone have found a more suitable way to create backups and restore procedure(s)?

False.  There are add-ins that do exactly what he's asking for.

Cool, care to enlighten us as to which addins or scripts you've used to accomplish this task?

I think, over the years, I have (repeatedly) tried every single Addin or Script that purports to achieve this with virtually zero success so I would love to hear which one or method actually works. Some had promising starts but never got more than a dozen documents locally archived...some simply did nothing.
