Schedule Feature Layer (Hosted) Backup

MattReeves_SpokaneValley — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 19:26:00 GMT

Out of the box ability to schedule the backup (Export Data) of a hosted feature layer. Approximately weekly, we are manually going to approximately 10 hosted feature layers and choosing to Export them out as a fGDB to a 'Data Exports' folder on ArcGIS Online. If I could schedule this process, I could be assured the hosted data was being archived/backed up in case of accidental data deletion, and also save time.

YES! Honestly I can't believe this wasn't something that was implemented in the first iterations of ArcGIS Online. Sometimes I feel like the Devs don't have a great idea how we are actually using the software. Having some ability to backup data automatically is essential.

I realize that your idea is to automate the fGDB export process for each layer, but I'd like to recommend the ability to have multiple selected layers be exported to a single fGDB. Granted, you may only want a one-to-one layer to fGDB, but I'm envisioning selecting potentially dozens of hosted feature layers and then exporting them all to one fGDB for backup. Thanks for getting the idea going!
