Hi @Ashish Rana

The Backup Tool is a Java command-line tool that you can use to completely back up your entire Smartsheet account. Please note that it is only compatible with multi-user plans.

See this page for more information on the Backup Tool: https://www.smartsheet.com/marketplace/apps/backup-tool-by-smartsheet

Hi Ashish,

Depending on your needs, you may find the Smartsheet Backup Tool has a few limitations.

You may want to consider using SmartBackup from Acuworkflow:

https://www.acuworkflow.com

SmartBackup gives you the ability to backup all your sheets, or only sheets that have recently changed, and allows you to create a recurring set of backups. You are also not limited in the number of backups, etc.

The tool creates full-featured backups of your sheets, including formatting, formulas, cell links, forms, automations, attachments, comments, etc. In addition to backups, it also has Archive and Export capabilities - including the ability to export all sheet attachments. These features are not available in the standard tools.

You can try the solution using the "Starter Edition", which is free to download and use, with some limitations, or you can purchase the Business Edition which has all the functionality.

Hope this helps.
