Base Snapshots

Snapshots allow you to create a point-in-time backup of your base. Use them before major changes or to safeguard against accidental data loss.

Key Notes

• Restoring a snapshot creates a new base — the existing base is not modified.
• You can choose which workspace to restore the snapshot into.
• Audit log data (global audits and record revision history) is not included in snapshots.
• Base-level permissions, shared base, and shared view settings are not restored — these must be reconfigured manually.
• A minimum gap of three hours is required between creating two snapshots.
• Only Base Owners can access the snapshot feature.

Access Snapshots

1. Open the base and go to Base Settings → Admin → Snapshots.

1. Click + New Snapshot.
2. Enter a name for the snapshot (defaults to the current date and time).

The snapshot appears in the list with a Restore button and a ⋮ menu carrying Delete.

Restore a Snapshot

1. Click Restore next to the snapshot you want to restore.
2. Select the target workspace (defaults to current workspace).

1. Click the vertical ellipsis ⋮ next to the snapshot and select Delete.
2. Click Delete Snapshot to confirm.

Availability

• Snapshots are available on NocoDB Cloud (Plus plan and above) and licensed self-hosted deployments (Business plan and above). The number of snapshots allowed per base depends on your plan.
