From the Lab Bench: Automated Cloud Backups

A feature born from a real customer experience — because your data shouldn't be at risk.
Not long ago, one of our customers experienced every QA lab's nightmare: a hard drive failure that corrupted critical files. Analysis setups that had been carefully built and refined over time — scanner calibrations, threshold settings, custom report templates — gone.
Rebuilding those configurations from scratch meant lost time, lost productivity, and the frustrating reality that there was no safety net in place.
That experience stuck with us. When we started hearing the same concern from other labs — "What happens to our setups if something goes wrong?" — we knew this had to be on the roadmap.
What We're Building
Automatic backup of analysis setups — Dirt count parameters, stickies configurations, SFDA settings, and custom report templates saved to the cloud automatically.
Full configuration history — Roll back to a previous setup or track how your analysis parameters have evolved over time. Complete version history at your fingertips.
Key system information, always accessible — License details, scanner configurations, and system preferences stored securely alongside your analysis setups.
Seamless workstation recovery — New computer? Hardware failure? Restore your complete Verity IA environment in minutes, not hours.
Built Because You Asked
Quality labs run on consistency. When your setups are dialed in for your specific grades, furnish, and process conditions, losing that configuration isn't just an inconvenience — it's a disruption to your quality program.
We don't build features in a vacuum. This one came directly from the labs that depend on Verity IA every day. A hard drive failure shouldn't mean starting over.
What's Next
Automated cloud backups are on the development roadmap as part of the next generation of Verity IA. We'll share more details — including timelines and how it integrates with our upcoming flexible licensing options — as development progresses.
