This week at M3 Collin will be walking through backing up project AirTable databases locally and to other storage services like Google Drive and Dropbox. While AirTable has internal backups, setting up external backups increases redundancy and gets your project in shape for archival at close-out. We’ve developed functions in the airtabler package to automatically export your whole database and a workflow for depositing to other services. This tutorial walk through setting this up for your own project database, functions used for generating metadata, and how to export versioned data for increased reproducibility. We’ll discuss directions for the airtabler package and how we’ll use this for archiving to scientific repositories in the future.
This M3 will be especially useful for project data mangers
