Questions about this workflow
Are these backup PDFs secure? Can only I access them?
Yes, store them in an encrypted folder or secure drive. Notis creates the backup; where you store it determines access.
Will this backup sensitive information like financial or HR discussions?
Yes, it backs up everything. Ensure your storage location has appropriate security and access controls for sensitive data.
Can I backup private team discussions from before I set this up?
Ask Notis 'Create a backup of all existing private team comments' for a one-time batch backup of history.
