Hi everyone,

I use Airtable daily to manage multiple bases, and I’m looking for a simple and reliable way to back up everything, including:

  • All tables (with data)

  • Automations

  • Scripts (via Scripting app)

  • Interfaces

My goal is to regularly back up my entire workspace and be able to quickly restore it in case of any issues (human error, accidental deletion, etc.).

I’m open to all suggestions: tools, third-party integrations, API-based methods, best practices, etc.
Ideally, the solution should be easy to automate or require minimal manual effort.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Airtable has a built-in snapshot feature that makes semi-regular backups of your base, but you can’t control the frequency of those backups, so it is considered best practice to manually create your own snapshot before & after making any important changes to your base.

Snapshots are the only way to backup interfaces, automations, extensions, and scripts.

However, if you want to regularly export your table data outside of Airtable as an external backup, you can turn to one of these options:

Hope this helps!

If you have a budget and you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with this or anything else that is Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld


Hi ​@ScottWorld thanks for the shout-out to ProBackup! 

@baptirey , just to give you a heads-up: We do currently not support the backup of Automations, Scripts and Interfaces. These data types are not made available through the public API (at least not when we last checked the API changelog). If this changes, then we’ll make the necessary updates and include those data types to our Airtable integration.

 

Here’s a help article that gives an overview of the data types that are currently supported. 


Hey ​@baptirey,

If my experience matters at all, I’d say you should be ok with snapshots! (unless you are afraid Airtable will go down or smth like that!)
