A Headhunter's Cards Are Their Asset — Backup Strategy

When Remember's data is gone, a life is gone. Backup guide for headhunters.

A Headhunter's Cards Are Their Asset — Backup Strategy

For a headhunter, cards are an asset. What if your 5,000-candidate pool suddenly vanished?

Real Incidents

  • 2022: A card app shut down → user data deleted 90 days later
  • 2023: Cloud-sync bug → some users lost ~50% of cards
  • 2024: Phone loss + no backup → 8 years of relationships gone

NameGood's Dual Backup

  1. PostgreSQL primary — Railway infrastructure
  2. Cloudflare R2 images — dual-write for card photos
  3. CSV / vCard export anytime — own your data

Recommended Backup Routine (for headhunters)

  • Weekly: CSV export → Google Drive
  • Monthly: vCard export → external drive
  • Quarterly: mirror to Notion / Airtable
  • Yearly: paper printout (extreme-case)

ZDR — Not Used for AI Training

OpenRouter Zero Data Retention. Candidate data never enters OpenAI/Google training pipelines. Without this guarantee, the risk is unacceptable for a headhunter.

Bottom Line

Three questions to ask any card app:

  1. Can I export the data?
  2. Is it free of training use?
  3. Is the infrastructure redundant?
