Hi @Safir Gol Aria 👋

Welcome to the Community!

1. I'm not sure I quite understand the first question but I know at present there should be no effects to using Trello. 

2. The best backup option is the Power Up 'Backups for Trello' - It allows you to protect your boards for $1/board/month with a minimum charge of $5/month. The backup covers:

• Boards
• Lists
• Cards
• Checklists
• Custom Fields
• Labels
• Attachments

3. Trello's option of backing up is very manual and can have some dependency on the subscription tier your Workspace is on. Basically, Any board member can export a Trello board's contents at any time by going to the board menu, and then clicking on More, followed by Print and Export. The board's data will be exported to a JSON file.

Export to JSON file is available for all Trello users. However, export to a more accessible CSV file is limited only to Trello Premium. 

4. I would recommend using Backups for Trello as it'll make returning content straight forwards for you and your team. The Power Up runs daily automated backups and protects you against innocent mistakes, buggy Power-Ups, and attacks. Swiftly restore your entire board back to a time when everything worked perfectly.

I hope this helps but if you have any other questions just ask away 😃

All the best,

Laura

If you are looking for a simple to use backup option you may want to look at the Amazing Fields powerup.  It can automatically create board backups on your schedule and it keeps them in your board administrator account for easy access.
