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.
|
||
|
||
:::note
|
||
- Snapshots are currently available exclusively on Cloud-hosted plans.

||
### Key Notes
|
||
|
||
#### 1. Audit Log Exclusion
|
||
- Snapshots do not include audit log data (revision history).
|
||
|
||
#### 2. No Impact on Existing Base
|
||
- Restoring a snapshot does not modify the current base. Instead, it creates a new base within the same workspace.
|
||
|
||
#### 3. Permissions Handling
|
||
- Base-specific user permissions are not restored. Restored bases inherit default workspace permissions.
|
||
- Any custom base-level permissions must be re-applied manually.
|
||
|
||
#### 4. Shared Configurations
|
||
- Shared base or shared view settings from the source base are not restored. These need to be reconfigured in the restored base.
|
||
|
||
#### 5. Snapshot Limits
|
||
- Each base can have a maximum of two snapshots at a time.
|
||
- 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.
|
||
|
||
#### 6. Base Owner Access
|
||
- Only Base Owners can access the snapshot feature.
|
||
|
||
## Access Snapshots
|
||
|
||
To access snapshots, follow the steps below:
|

3. Select the `Snapshots` tab.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Create a Snapshot

To create a snapshot, access the `Snapshots` tab and follow the steps below:
|
||
|
||
1. Click on the `New Snapshot` button.
|
||
2. Enter a name for the snapshot (Optional). By default, the name will be set to the current date and time.
|
||
3. Click `Save`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The snapshot will be created and displayed in the `Snapshots` tab.
|
||
|
||
## Restore a Snapshot
|
||
|
||
To restore a snapshot, access the Snapshots tab and follow the steps below:
|
||
|
||
1. Click on the `Restore` button next to the snapshot you wish to restore.
|
||
2. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click the `Confirm Restore` button to proceed.
|
||

||

||
|
||
### Important Notes on Restoring
|
||
- A restored snapshot creates a new base within the same workspace. Choosing a different workspace is not supported currently.
|
||
- Permissions and shared configurations will need to be set up again as described above. |
