 About the Project

Our team developed a Knack storage solution called Backapps. Automatic backups for Knack data are extracted in CSV files and securely saved onto a private S3 cloud storage outside of Knack’s environment, or onto Google Drive or Dropbox. Users control the date, time, and frequency of the backups. Monthly subscription plans are offered with different account limits.

Billing Plans and Secure Payments

Backapps offers monthly plans that are integrated with Stripe API for secure payments for your Knack storage solution. The bigger the plan, the higher the storage limits. You can also purchase additional storage independent of your plan. The reports visualize the consumption of the plan and its limits. Users receive daily summary reports delivered to their inboxes.
