# Overview | ||
This ServiceNow script automates backing up critical record data (such as task or incident records) to an external storage solution. Designed to run as a Business Rule, it helps maintain redundancy for sensitive information by copying specific record details to a backup API whenever a record is created or modified. | ||
|
||
# How It Works | ||
- Data Extraction: Collects key record fields (such as `sys_id`, `number`, `short_description`) from `current`. | ||
- API Call: Sends a `POST` request with record data to an external backup endpoint. | ||
- Logging: Outputs API response for monitoring. | ||
|
||
# Implementation | ||
1. Update the `setEndpoint` URL to match your backup API endpoint. | ||
2. Modify the `recordData` with table data structure as needed. | ||
3. Ensure the Business Rule is triggered on the appropriate conditions (e.g., on record insert/update) in the target table. |
