6 steps to a production-ready backup

1
Get started

Sign up — trial or paid licence

CYBBACK offers two ways to get started. Both unlock the full Monday.com backup feature set.

Option A — Free trial

  1. Open cybback.com/essai-gratuit.
  2. Fill in your work email, company and a password. Click Start free trial.
  3. You'll receive a verification email — click the confirmation link.
  4. On the trial selection screen, pick Monday.com. Your trial workspace is provisioned instantly.
Painless onboarding

Trial accounts get the full Monday.com feature set — encryption, BYOB, scheduling, restore. Switch to a paid plan at any moment without losing data.

Option B — Paid licence (Stripe checkout)

  1. Go to cybback.com/tarifs and pick the Monday.com plan that matches your account size.
  2. Click Subscribe. You'll be redirected to Stripe Checkout (cards, SEPA, invoicing on annual plans).
  3. After payment, you land back on the dashboard. Your licence is active immediately — visible under Account → Subscription.

Connect Monday.com

Generate & paste your API token

CYBBACK authenticates with Monday.com using a personal API token. The token is encrypted with AES-256-GCM the moment it reaches our servers — it is never logged or exposed.

Generate the token in Monday.com

  1. In Monday.com, click your profile picture (top right)Developers.
  2. In the left sidebar, click My access tokens.
  3. Click Show next to your personal token, then Copy.
Use a service account, not a personal token

For production use, create a dedicated Monday.com user (e.g. backup@yourcompany.com), grant it admin/board-level access on every workspace you want backed up — including closed workspaces — and use that user's token.

Paste the token into CYBBACK

  1. Open app.cybback.com/dashboard/monday-backup.
  2. Switch to the Settings tab.
  3. Paste the token in API Token and click Save credentials.
  4. CYBBACK runs a connection test. A green badge confirms the connection.

Encryption at rest

Enable AES-256-GCM encryption

By default, your backups are stored on CYBBACK's secure EU infrastructure. To go one step further, enable client-side encryption: backup files are encrypted before they leave the worker, with a key only your tenant controls.

Turn it on

  1. On the same Settings tab of the Monday.com page, scroll to Security options.
  2. Toggle AES-256 Encryption ON.
  3. Click Save. The change applies to every new backup. Previous backups remain readable as-is.
Settings → Security options
AES-256 EncryptionRecommended

Encrypts your backup data with the AES-256-GCM algorithm. Data is encrypted before being sent to storage.

EnabledYour next backups will be end-to-end encrypted
4
Bring Your Own Bucket

Use your own S3-compatible storage

Want full data sovereignty? Point CYBBACK at your S3-compatible bucket — AWS S3, Scaleway, OVH, Wasabi, MinIO, Backblaze B2, IBM COS, or any provider speaking the S3 API. Your data, your provider, your region.

Pick & provision a bucket

  1. In your S3 provider, create a private bucket (no public access, versioning recommended).
  2. Create an access key / secret key with read/write permissions limited to that bucket.
  3. Note your endpoint URL (e.g. s3.fr-par.scw.cloud) and region (e.g. fr-par).

Configure CYBBACK

  1. Open Dashboard → Storage.
  2. Select My own S3 storage.
  3. Fill in the form:
Dashboard → Storage
Default storageCYBBACK · EU · ready
My own S3 storageYour bucket · your region
S3 ConfigurationEncrypted at rest
 

Field reference

Resilience built-in

CYBBACK stores an encrypted snapshot of your S3 credentials inside each backup record. Even if you change provider tomorrow, every previous backup remains restorable from the storage it was originally written to.

Test before saving

Always click Test connection first. CYBBACK will write & delete a tiny probe file to validate credentials, region and permissions.

First backup

Run your first backup

You're now fully configured. Time to run your first backup — manually for instant peace of mind, then schedule recurring runs.

Manual backup

  1. Go back to the Dashboard tab on the Monday.com page.
  2. Pick the workspace selection mode: All workspaces (recommended) or Manual (cherry-pick).
  3. Click Run backup now. The job appears in the queue with status pending, then running.
  4. Progress is streamed live: workspaces fetched, boards processed, items + subitems captured, files uploaded.

Schedule automatic backups

  1. From Dashboard → Schedules, click New schedule.
  2. Service: Monday.com. Frequency: Daily / Weekly / Custom (cron).
  3. Pick a time window (e.g. 02:00 UTC) and click Save.
How long does it take?

A typical 200-board, 50k-item account completes in 5–15 minutes. Larger accounts (1000+ boards, files attached) can take up to 1 hour. CYBBACK uses a complexity-budget queue to stay under Monday's API rate limits without degrading their service.

Track your backups

6
Restore

Restore your data — granular & reversible

CYBBACK restores from any previous backup. Pick a single board, a single item, or the whole account — and write it back to the original workspace or to a new one.

The 3-step restore flow

  1. Selection. Open the backup, browse workspaces & boards, tick what you want to recover. Search and lazy-loading let you scan thousands of boards smoothly.
  2. Options. Choose your safety net:
    • Dry-run — simulate the restore, no write to Monday.com.
    • Create new boards — copy as new boards (no overwrite of live data).
    • Restore permissions — re-apply board members and visibility.
    • Redirect — write to a different workspace or folder than the source.
  3. Execution. A worker picks up the job, restores in the background, and reports progress in real-time. You can close the tab — completion is emailed.

Best practices

Monday.com API constraints

Monday.com's API does not allow truly destructive overwrites. CYBBACK never deletes existing items during a restore — it always adds them. To clean a workspace before restoring, archive boards manually first.

You're all set.
