+# Overview
+This snippet enables the backup of critical table data (such as task or incident records) to an external storage solution. It’s a valuable tool for developers looking to ensure redundancy and backup for sensitive data within ServiceNow.
+
+# How It Works
+- Data Extraction: Collects key record fields (such as `sys_id`, `number`, `short_description`) from `current`.
+- API Call: Sends a `POST` request with record data to an external backup endpoint.
+- Logging: Outputs API response for monitoring.
+
+# Implementation
+1. Update the `setEndpoint` URL to match your backup API endpoint.
+2. Modify the `recordData` with table data structure as needed.
+3. Ensure the Business Rule is triggered on the appropriate conditions (e.g., on record insert/update) in the target table.
