Introducing Archi Backup: ACC and BIM 360 Backups on Storage You Control
Archi Backup is a Windows app that backs up Autodesk® Construction Cloud® (ACC) and BIM 360® project files to storage you control: a local drive, NAS or S3-compatible bucket. Copies run on a schedule, and every downloaded file is checked.
Have a copy before you need it
If someone deletes a project folder, you need to know what was already copied. Before a subscription ends or someone leaves, you want a copy while access remains. For an audit, you want to review what copied and what could not, rather than assume success. Archi Backup keeps files deleted in Autodesk by default, and records each run.
How it works
- Connect. Sign in to Autodesk after your account administrator approves Archi Backup for each account.
- Choose. Select a folder, project, hub or account, then choose your destination and version policy.
- Schedule. Set hourly, daily or weekly runs, keeping the backup PC on and its Windows user signed in.
- Check. Review each run for copied files, warnings and failures, then check projects without backup jobs.
Where the copies go
A local drive or external disk, a NAS or network share, or your own S3-compatible bucket, with presets such as AWS S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2 and OVHcloud. Mirror copies new and changed files; Snapshot keeps dated copies on folder destinations. You copy the current version, or include earlier versions.
Revit cloud models
Archi Backup fetches available linked models and labels each Revit® cloud model copy. Composite models remain Autodesk's published package as a ZIP, with model and links together. Publish before the backup runs; unpublished synced changes are not included. Links are copied as currently held in Autodesk Docs; older model versions contain no links.
Checked files, visible gaps, read-only access
Every downloaded file is hashed and compared with Autodesk's checksum when one is supplied; a mismatch is never accepted as a good copy. Run reports show what copied, what was skipped and what could not be copied, and coverage shows projects without a backup job. Archi Backup only reads from Autodesk and never changes, uploads or deletes hub data, and project data never passes through Archi Systems' servers.
Try it
You can browse accessible hubs, projects, folders and versions, and view coverage, without a licence. Copying files and running backups requires the free 14-day trial, started in setup with your name, email and an email PIN (no card required), or a licence: floating for shared seats, or desktop for one computer. Existing backups stay untouched when a trial or licence ends, and if you uninstall Archi Backup.
Archi Backup runs on Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. This version does not restore or migrate projects into ACC or BIM 360. See the product page, download the free trial or read the user guide.
