Automated SaaS Escape Pod That Backs Up Your Cloud Life to Local Storage
87% of IT professionals experienced SaaS data loss last year, mostly from human error. Users are trapped across dozens of cloud services with no unified way to export and locally back up their data. Individual backup tools exist for Notion or GitHub but nobody has built the self-hosted aggregator that automatically pulls data from multiple SaaS platforms into a single local archive with versioning.
Start with the 5 most-requested services (Google Workspace, Notion, GitHub, Slack, Trello) and build a plugin architecture for adding more. The secret sauce is making the backup browsable and searchable locally, not just a pile of JSON dumps. Ship it as a Docker container with a web UI that shows your 'data estate' across all connected services.

A huge gap exists between 'backup your files' tools (Duplicati, Restic) and 'backup your SaaS data' tools (BackupLABS). The self-hosted community has no unified tool that connects to multiple SaaS APIs (Google, Notion, Trello, Slack, etc.), exports data on a schedule, stores it locally with versioning, and lets you search across all of it. Every service requires its own bespoke backup script.
