Base Snapshots

A snapshot is a backup of your base at one point in time. Make a snapshot before large changes, or to protect against accidental data loss.

Key Notes

• When you restore a snapshot, NocoDB creates a new base. The existing base does not change.
• You select the workspace into which you restore the snapshot.
• Snapshots do not include audit log data (global audits and record revision history).
• A restore does not include base-level permissions, shared base settings or shared view settings. You must configure them again manually.
• You must wait a minimum of three hours between two snapshots.
• Only Base Owners can use snapshots.

Access Snapshots

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

Create a Snapshot

1. Click + New Snapshot.
2. Type a name for the snapshot. The default name is the current date and time.
3. Click Save.

The snapshot shows in the list. It has a Restore button and a ⋮ menu with Delete.

Restore a Snapshot

1. Next to the snapshot, click Restore.
2. Select the target workspace. The default is the current workspace.
3. Click Confirm Restore.

Delete a Snapshot

1. Next to the snapshot, click the vertical ellipsis ⋮.
2. Select Delete.
3. 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 that you can keep for each base depends on your plan.
