Backups
Snapshot your project's schema and configuration — collections, fields, areas, roles, and related settings — or restore a previous snapshot.
Go to Code in the top navigation bar, then select Backups from the left rail.
Until you create one, the tab shows an empty state with a Create your first backup button.
Create a backup
- Click Create backup.
- Enter a Backup name (for example,
pre-migrationorweekly-backup). - Optional: Add a Description of what the backup includes or why you created it.
- Click Create backup.
A backup saves your current project data — collections, fields, areas, roles, and related configuration. Restoring it later does not change the project name or ID.
The Status column shows Queued or Processing, then Completed once the snapshot is stored.
The backups table
Each backup appears as a row:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Backup name | The name you gave the snapshot. |
| Description | The optional note you added. |
| Date | When the backup was created. |
| Status | The state of the snapshot (see Status reference). |
| Restore Status | The state of the most recent restore, or — if never restored. |
| Actions | Restore, download, or delete the backup. |
In the Actions column:
| Icon | Action |
|---|---|
| Restore the project to this snapshot. | |
| Download the backup as a zip file. | |
| Delete the backup permanently. |
Restore a backup
- Find the backup in the table.
- In the Actions column, click Restore.
- Confirm the restoration when prompted.
The Restore Status column shows Restoring while the schema reverts, then Restored when it finishes.
Restoring a backup replaces your current schema, fields, areas, and roles. This action cannot be undone.
