I was thinking it could be a good idea to make a backup of my screens, formulas, etc. How would you go about doing this?

Outside of opening each and copying the text one-by-one, is there another way to do this? It seems like there have been more outages lately and it would be good to have a copy in case everything needs to get redone in an extreme case.
These are good questions. Setting up a website crawler may not work for a dynamic site like P123.
I have all my custom formulas stored in a database (SQL, Excel), and I’ve copied all my core ranking systems. I understand that building a full bulk-export feature for all components would require a lot of work for P123, but exporting/importing all custom formulas and ranking systems to a CSV / json files, for example, would be very useful.

So after the latest outage this came back to mind. Outside of opening each and copying the text one-by-one, is there another way to backup our formulas, screen rules, screen reports, strategies, etc? Maybe with dataminer or something else?
If not, that’s fine, but I’d rather not go down the one-by-one road if there’s a more efficient way.
I could write a python script to back up everything if P123 could add a way to list all the screen, rankings, and formula IDs through the API. You could then schedule it to run every day, week, month.
Be happy to share it with the group.
