Allow "Delta backup" from Assets data

XMLWordPrintable

      Current State:

      Currently, the Backup and Restore available for Assets data will only allow you to make a snapshot of the entire data and restore it into an empty site:

      But, to select any specific Object or set of Objects, customers have to manually export objects under each object type.

      Currently, when you go to:

      Data Management > Backups > Create or Restore a backup
      You only see the option to perform a full backup overwrite.

       

      Proposed Future State:

      Allow customers to select a specific set of Objects they'd like to restore according to their needs. Some real case scenarios:

      • Only restore Objects created in the last 24 hours.
      • Restore only the Objects created between Date range A - B.
      • Restore only Objects without overwriting Objects created in the last 24 hours.
         

        Alternative (e.g. Third Party Plugin):

      The only alternative is to restore a full backup to an empty site and manually extract the desired Objects back to your desired site.

       

      From Restore app data from backup:

       - You can’t restore backups into apps that have user-generated data. Make sure that you have a site without data.
