1.Starts the sub-zap
Integrate Sub-Zap by Zapier and automation logic to kick off backup execution when the sub-zap starts.
Create backup copies of team records to table
Automatically start a backup run across Zapier Tables and Storage by Zapier when sub-zap starts, backup job starts, or snapshot run begins—so you can protect your dataset with point-in-time restore copies. Get instant duplication, save snapshot references, and recreate records without manual restores.
How this automation protects your restore snapshots
When a backup run needs to happen on time, delays can break testing and slow recovery. This automation duplicates tables, saves snapshot references, and recreates snapshot records—so you can restore point-in-time backups faster.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
We've been able to scale our operations while staying lean. Zapier lets us do more without needing more people.
