In short

How do I automatically back up my draw.io diagrams every week?

WebRun checks your draw.io library every Friday for any diagram edited that week. It exports a dated copy of each one into an organized Google Drive backup folder, then texts you a same-day confirmation with the count backed up, so your diagrams stay recoverable without anyone remembering to export them manually.

  • Every changed diagram gets a dated backup copy automatically
  • The ops lead gets same-day confirmation the backup ran
  • Old diagram versions stay recoverable in Drive

Questions, answered

Does it delete or overwrite anything in draw.io?

No. WebRun only reads and exports copies of your diagrams. Nothing in your draw.io library is changed, moved, or deleted.

Where do the backup copies go?

Into a dated folder in Google Drive, organized by week, so you can always find last month's version of any diagram.

What if no diagrams changed that week?

It skips the archive step and still sends a short text confirming there was nothing new to back up.

Put this on autopilot.
