Your Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) is the backbone of your projects — but what happens when files are accidentally deleted, overwritten, or your common data environment (CDE) goes down?

Bad data and data loss cost the global construction industry $1.8 trillion in 2020 alone (Autodesk & FMI, 2021), with up to 30% of project data lost by the commissioning stage. And here’s what many teams don’t realize: Autodesk recommends using a third-party backup solution to protect your project files. Forma is a powerful collaboration platform, but it is not a standalone backup system.

What You Will Learn

• Why Autodesk recommends third-party backups and what their shared responsibility model means for your data

• The real cost of common data environment (CDE) downtime — and how unprotected data leads to unproductive hours, rework, and missed deadlines

• How to protect your intellectual property and keep sensitive project data secure

• A live walkthrough of how to set up automated backups in under 15 minutes with Graitec File Sync
