Export list of document to a local storage on a daily basis

To manufacture our products, we need access to our work instructions stored in Windchill PLM.
But in the event of a computer problem, when Windchill is no longer accessible, we're stuck.

Is it possible to program a daily export few specific files from Windchill to a local folder on a file server?

 

thanks in advance

Sounds like you should address the cause why your Windchill system would be unavailable. I get the impact of a downtime can cause on manufacturing. Was this related to CrowdStrike perhaps? Before devoting resources on this effort to create a local cache, address the issues that would cause Windchill to be offline at critical times. Your cache will might end up becoming a security concern, cause possible out of date files to be used and can be a nice source for data exfiltration. But to your question, there are methods in the workflow to export data to a local drive and anything could be customized.
