Ideally, airtable should download a copy of all my database files into dropbox at least once/day, but that feature doesn't exist.
It should also have a automatic file downloader backup (e.g. when you upload an image, it goes to their amazonS3 server → that should ideally be backed up locally as well). Doesn't exist either. Just have to use the plugin I wrote for the time being
Another thing from a risk management standpoint. Airtable has only 1 API key, and that key has access to EVERYTHING. If someone knows both your API key + your airtable's base ID, they can do anything with it. Issue GET requests for data, PATCH and update values in your database, etc.
Airtable doesn't have an official, automated local backup system yet. Their forum post indicates it as well https://community.airtable.com/t/offline-local-backup/754/77.

There is a 3rd party solution for backing up airtables using its API. Its on this forum post. https://community.airtable.com/t/zenbackups-airtable-databas.... Personally, I have not used it.
