How do I restore my backup data to recreate my Airtable base?

On2Air Backups is a service to provide you an additional backup location for your Airtable data in a separate location and format other than Airtable.

If you were to completely lose your base, no 3rd party tool is capable of re-building it from scratch. Airtable doesn't yet make it possible through their API for a 3rd party tool to programmatically fully restore an Airtable Base, Table, and Fields (example: can't create Formula fields with the API, etc).

To restore your base and data, you can reach out to an Airtable consultant to help you manually restore your data using your CSV and Attachment files created by On2Air Backups.

While some companies who have an Airtable backups app offer an automatic backup restore option, the process in which they both backup and restore your data violates Airtable’s Terms of Service. We do not recommend their method.

If you’ve deleted data in your base:

Try Airtable Revision features

If a field value was deleted in a record, we encourage you to first use Airtable’s Revision features

  • For the Pro plans, you will be able to see the past 1 years of revision history.
  • For the Enterprise plans, you will be able to see the past 3 years of revision history.

Check the Base Trash

You can also view the Base Trash. The trash function allows to see and restore the tables, views, fields, extensions, and records that have been deleted in a base in the past seven (7) days.

Backup Your Base Schema
