Data table rollback/versioning/backups?

Describe the problem/error/question

I just stomped on a data table of mine and I am not seeing any kind of rollback/version/backups. I’m hoping I am missing something, or am I just going to have to recreate my data?

Hi @spirejoey

Are you using the built-in “Data Tables” feature within n8n, or are you using an external database (like PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Airtable) connected via n8n nodes?

Depending on which one it is, your recovery options change drastically.

I realized I had a run that had pulled the full table in so I was able to recover from the saved execution. But seems like some kind of rollback option for the table itself could be useful.

This is the bulitin data table option, but see above.

Well

that’s your answer

If this data is mission-critical, I highly recommend adding a “Backup” step to your workflow that periodically exports your Data Table to a CSV file in Google Drive, Dropbox, or an S3 bucket.

This sounds like a feature request
