Your platform is a great place to work. Not to keep things. Your liability runs for years.

SIINC backs up Procore, Autodesk Forma, BIM 360 and Oracle Aconex projects as often as every hour into Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage you own, so the record outlives the subscription.

The project closes

The subscription lapses or the hub owner archives the job. Drawings, RFIs and correspondence go with it unless you kept a copy.

How teams handle it

A claim lands two years later

Variations and disputes are argued from daily logs, change orders and mail. Your access ended at practical completion.

How teams handle it

Someone deletes the wrong folder

Collaboration platforms sync mistakes instantly. A scheduled backup keeps the version from before it happened.

How teams handle it

Read the platforms' own help pages.

When a subscription ends or a project closes, access to the record runs out within weeks. The periods you can be held liable for run in years.

Platform access after closeout lasts about 30 days. Claims, defects and disputes: Run for years after completion, and vary by jurisdiction and contract.

  • Procore

    A Project Archive download link expires after 30 days, and only the person who created the archive or a project Directory admin can download it.

    Procore support

  • Autodesk

    Access to cloud documents continues for about 30 days after a subscription ends.

    Autodesk account help

  • Oracle Aconex

    Oracle closes the project in not less than 30 days, after which every organisation loses access unless it bought an archive.

How long you can be held liable depends on your jurisdiction and your contracts. This is general information, not legal advice.

The platform keeps itself running. Keeping your record is your job.

Construction platforms are built for working on a project, not for archiving it. Their exports are one-off closeout snapshots, and syncing to SharePoint copies deletions and mistakes along with everything else. A backup is an independent, scheduled copy you can go back to.

Pick exactly what to protect.

Every module is a checkbox. Back up the record your contracts depend on and leave out what you don't need. Try it.

Exclusions (optional)
Files, folders, and extensions to skip during backup. Matching is exact and case-insensitive; excluding a folder skips its entire subtree.

        Your bucket, not ours.

        SIINC writes into Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage in your own account. What lands there is ordinary folders, the original files and readable JSON, so the copy is useful even without SIINC.

        • Your region, your retention and immutability rules
        • Original files with their revisions
        • Records as plain JSON next to their attachments

        Execution history, warnings and a client audit log you can export. The answer is ready when an auditor, insurer or tender asks how project data is protected.

        How SIINC handles your data
        Official API connections
        Official OAuth and API access. Backups read from the platform. Restores write records back, including into another account, when you run one. The optional Enterprise archive feature brings archived Autodesk projects into backup scope.
        Single sign-on and 2FA
        Microsoft Entra ID sign-in, two-factor and role-based access.
        One tenant per customer
        Isolated workspaces, with storage and platform credentials held per tenant.
        Encrypted and independently tested
        AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit. Independently penetration tested. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 in progress.

        Questions about backing up Procore, Autodesk Forma and Aconex

        Frequently asked questions

        Procore, Autodesk Forma and BIM 360, and Oracle Aconex.

        No. SIINC runs as a hosted service. You authorise the platform, add Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage credentials and pick what to back up.

        Into an Amazon S3 bucket or Azure Blob Storage container in your own cloud account. You keep the copy if you stop using SIINC.

        Two ways. Restore records back into Procore, Autodesk Forma and BIM 360 or Aconex, including into a different account, or find them in the portal for each platform and download a file, a folder or a ZIP.

        Yes. We set up a trial workspace with a storage quota so you can run real backups against a live project before you commit.

        Start a trial workspace or book a demo and we will run the first backup with you.
