Data Backups allows you to automatically back up your Big Tables at configurable intervals and restore them to previous points in time, enabling you to recover from data loss or errors.
Data Backups is available as a paid add-on to Enterprise plans. To enable Data Backups for your team, email sales@heyglide.com. View all plans here.
Configuring Backups
Data Backups is configured by Glide when you purchase the add-on. Your backup frequency and retention period are set based on your purchased plan. Once configured, your selected tables will be backed up automatically at the configured intervals.
Viewing Backup History
In the Team Dashboard, click on Data Backups in the lower left-hand menu. Select the table you want to view and review the version history showing all available backup points for that table.
Restoring a Backup
Data Backups offers two restoration options: restore as a new table or overwrite the existing table.
Restore as a New Table
Restoring a backup as a new table creates a separate copy of the data at the selected point in time. This is useful for testing or comparing data without affecting your table in production.
In the Team Dashboard, click on Data Backups in the lower left-hand menu.
Select the table you want to restore.
Choose the backup point from the version history.
Select Restore as new table.
Overwrite Existing Table
Overwriting a table is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Consider restoring it as a new table first to verify the data.
Restoring a backup by overwriting the existing table reverts your production table to the selected point in time.
In the Team Dashboard, click on Data Backups in the lower left-hand menu.
Select the table you want to restore.
Choose the backup point from the version history.
Select Overwrite existing table.
Confirm the action in the pop-up message.
