✅ Quick Summary

Push44 gives you a permanent off-platform backup of every Base44 project. Push to GitHub and your code is stored on your own GitHub account — completely independent of Base44. Even if Base44 shut down tomorrow, you'd still have everything.

The Problem

If Base44 experiences data loss, you lose access to your account, or the platform changes its terms, your projects could disappear. Many developers have lost work to platform shutdowns and account issues. Base44 doesn't offer a native backup or export feature.

How Push44 Solves It

Push44 gives you a permanent off-platform backup of every Base44 project. Push to GitHub and your code is stored on your own GitHub account — completely independent of Base44. Even if Base44 shut down tomorrow, you'd still have everything.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Identify your critical Base44 projects

List the Base44 projects you care most about — production apps, client work, projects you've invested significant time in. These get backed up first.

2

Create a backup repository on GitHub

Create a GitHub repository for each important project. Name it clearly (e.g., 'myapp-base44-backup'). Set it as private if you don't want it public.

3

Do an initial export with Push44

Run Push44 for each project, pushing to its corresponding GitHub repo. This creates your first backup — a complete snapshot of the current state.

4

Set a backup schedule

Commit to a regular backup schedule — after every major development session at minimum, or weekly even if you haven't made changes. Consistency is more important than frequency.

Pro Tips

  • Keep your GitHub repos private if your Base44 projects contain sensitive business logic.
  • Star or bookmark your backup repos in GitHub so they're easy to find.
  • A backup is only useful if it's current — export after every important change.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️ Watch Out For
  • Backing up only once and never updating — your backup gets stale and loses its value.
  • Not testing the backup — open the exported files locally to verify they're complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my backup if my Base44 account is suspended?
Nothing. Your GitHub backup is completely independent. It's on your GitHub account, under your control.
How much storage does a Base44 backup take on GitHub?
Most Base44 apps are small (under 5MB of source code). GitHub gives you unlimited storage for repositories, so storage is not a concern.
Can I restore from backup to Base44?
Push44 exports FROM Base44. Restoring back to Base44 would require manually pasting files into the Base44 editor, as Base44 doesn't have an import feature.
