Automatic Backup for Sheets
Auto-backup your spreadsheet on a schedule — timestamped copies to Drive
backupautomaticscheduletimestampedversiondrive
Never lose a spreadsheet again. Save timestamped backup copies of your sheet on demand or automatically on a daily/weekly schedule — into one tidy Drive folder. WHAT IT DOES • Back up now: one click saves a timestamped copy (e.g. "My Sheet - backup 2026-06-30 14:05:11"). • Scheduled backups (Pro): pick Daily or Weekly and the add-on copies your spreadsheet automatically via a time-based trigger. • Organised: every copy lands in a single app-created folder — "Sheets Backups (Automatic Backup add-on)" — instead of cluttering My Drive. • Turn off any time: set the schedule back to Off to remove the trigger. GREAT FOR • Finance, ops, and data teams protecting critical sheets. • Anyone who edits a shared spreadsheet many people can change. • Keeping a clean, dated version history without manual "Make a copy". FREE & PRO • Free: 5 manual backups/month. • Pro: scheduled daily/weekly backups + unlimited manual backups. 14-day full trial. Privacy-first: uses per-file Drive access only for the folder and backup copies the add-on itself creates — it never lists or reads the rest of your Drive, and reads only your active spreadsheet. Minimal scopes, fast support.
