Smartsheet only saves sheets in its backups. Klonup protects your entire solution — sheets, reports, dashboards, forms, formulas, workflows, and the links between them — with automatic backups that keep everything running.
According to Smartsheet's official documentation, its backups don't include reports, dashboards, formulas, workflows, cross-sheet references, formatting, or custom configurations. Only loose sheets.
You've spent months building your Smartsheet solution: connected dashboards, automated reports, forms, formulas, cross-sheet links. But Smartsheet's native backup doesn't protect any of that. And when a human error or incident happens, that can cost you weeks of manual rebuilding.
Smartsheet's native backup exports loose sheets only. Reports, dashboards, forms, formulas, workflows, and cross-sheet references are left out. Restoring the full solution requires rebuilding every item manually.
Someone deletes a sheet, breaks a key formula, or corrupts a dashboard. Without a functional backup that preserves structure and links, rebuilding can take days or weeks.
Smartsheet only offers weekly recurring backups, and only on Business and Enterprise plans. There's no central dashboard: each workspace must be managed manually, one by one.
More and more companies need to prove operational continuity and traceability. Without automated, complete, and auditable backups, you can't meet internal or external regulations.
This comparison isn't ours.

Workspace backups include the workspace's sheets but not the workspace structure. Restoring a solution requires rebuilding each Smartsheet item.— Smartsheet official documentation
Klonup is the smart backup solution built specifically for Smartsheet. It doesn't generate static snapshots or dead exports. It creates functional, operational copies of your entire environment: sheets, reports, dashboards, forms, and workspaces — with all links and structural integrity intact.
When you recover your data, everything works: formulas, links, automations, cross-references. As if nothing ever happened.
You schedule it once. Klonup generates your backups automatically at the frequency you choose, with zero intervention.
All copies are stored in your own Smartsheet environment. Never on external servers. Your data is yours, always.
If something goes wrong, you restore in seconds. Everything works as if nothing ever happened.
Klonup replicates Sheets, Reports, Dashboards, Forms, and full Workspaces. Everything operational, everything ready to use from day one.
Cross-cell links, formulas, internal references — all retained. When you restore a backup, your environment works exactly as before.
Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly backups. Klonup runs in the background — no reminders, no manual execution needed.
Link your Smartsheet account via the official API. Encrypted, secure connection. No installations, no complex setup. Done in seconds.
Choose the Workspaces or folders you want to protect. You decide what to back up and at what level of detail.
Set your backup frequency: daily, weekly, or monthly. From that point on, Klonup works on its own. You forget about it. Your data is always protected.
Klonup is built around one fundamental principle: you are the sole owner of your data. Every backup is stored directly in your own Smartsheet account. Never on third-party servers. Never out of your control.
Access to your data exclusively through Smartsheet's official API, with end-to-end encryption on every operation.
All copies are stored within your own Smartsheet environment. No external storage. No third-party dependencies.
Detailed logs of every backup operation. Full traceability to meet your compliance and data governance requirements.
Start protecting what matters most.
For teams managing multiple projects.
Full protection for your entire organization.
For large corporations with specific requirements.
Each independently selected root Workspace or folder counts as one backup item. In environments with more than 100 elements, protection is managed through internal folders.
