Base Snapshots ☁
Procedures to create and manage snapshots
Snapshots are a powerful feature that allows users to create a point-in-time backup of their base. Whether you’re preparing for major changes or safeguarding against accidental data loss, this feature ensures your data is secure and retrievable.
Snapshots are currently available exclusively on cloud-hosted paid plans & self-hosted enterprise plans
Key Notes
- Snapshots do not include audit log data (global audits & records revision history).
- Restoring a snapshot does not modify the current base. Instead, it creates a new base within the same workspace.
- Base-specific user permissions are not restored. Restored bases inherit default workspace permissions. Any custom base-level permissions must be re-applied manually.
- Shared base or shared view settings from the source base are not restored. These need to be reconfigured in the restored base.
- The number of snapshots allowed per base depends on your plan.
- A minimum gap of three hours is required between creating two snapshots. You can delete all existing snapshots and immediately create a new one if needed.
- Only Base Owners can access the snapshot feature.
