What it is

Your LMS data, independently yours.

Archiving protects the content you've moved out of the LMS. Your live courses need their own layer — for mid-term deletions, integration overwrites, and outages during finals week.

Scaffold Backup is that layer. It captures live LMS data — course content, student activity, and system events — in one secure, independently governed copy, so your IT and academic teams can recover quickly and keep teaching moving. Whether you run Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard, Moodle, or another LMS, that copy lives outside vendor systems, under your control.

What you get

Always on, even when the LMS isn’t.

Scaffold Backup captures live course data independently of the LMS, so a deletion, a bad import, or an outage becomes a recovery task rather than a disruption to teaching.

  1. Live Capture

    Real-Time LMS Retrieval

    Continuously capture live course content, student activity, and events in a secure warehouse, independent of native LMS APIs and reporting limits.

  2. Recovery

    Rapid Course Recovery

    Restore deleted or damaged live courses without rebuilding content or reconstructing student work by hand — a failed import becomes a recovery task, not a semester-long rebuild.

  3. Continuity

    Emergency Enrollment

    When the LMS is unavailable, emergency enrollment gives faculty and students a path to continue coursework so teaching does not stop during an outage.

  4. Full Fidelity

    Full-Fidelity Backup

    Capture course content, student activity, events, and complete digital file assets in one place, so your backup reflects everything, not just what native tools export.
