Back up and restore your workspace

SheetApps gives you several ways to protect and recover data for your workspace, in the Admin console → Data tab.

How to backup and restore your workspace?

• Sign-in as an Admin user to your workspace
• Click on Admin Console and navigate to Data tab

Manual backup and restore:

• Click on Backup workspace to backup workspace data.
• Click on Restore from file to restore your workspace.

Automatic backup and restore:

• Turn on Automatic backup and select the days of retention.
• From the list of backup restore points, click on Restore to restore your workspace.
• You can also create a manual backup restore point by clicking on Backup Now

Note: Data tab is the central location for managing Data Lifecycle

Manual backup (all plans)

• Download a backup zip of your workspace at any time, and restore from a file later. You choose where to save it.

Recycle bin

• Deleted apps go to the recycle bin and can be restored within the retention window before they're purged.

Hosted automated backups (Max & Enterprise)

• Higher tiers can enable scheduled daily backups with a retention window the operator sets.
• The maximum days of retention of the backups are specific to Plan Tiers.

Good to know

• Restores are non-destructive — they recreate apps without overwriting your live data. They don't remove new apps and data.
• Record-level change history is available per app, and retention is managed in Housekeeping.
