How to update your Notion backup scope

Written by ProBackup

ProBackup backs up only the Notion pages and databases you shared with the ProBackup connection. Notion controls this list, not ProBackup, so you change your backup scope in Notion. Changes apply from the next daily backup.

Note: Sharing a page with ProBackup also shares all its subpages and databases. To back up everything, share your top-level pages.

Option 1: Add a page from the page itself (all Notion plans)

  1. In Notion, open the page you want to back up.

  2. Click ••• in the top right corner of the page, then open More.

  3. Under Connections, click Add connections and select ProBackup.

  4. Confirm that ProBackup may access the page and its subpages.

To stop backing up a page, open the same menu, hover over ProBackup under Connections and click Disconnect. If access is inherited from a parent page, also remove the connection from the parent that grants access.

Option 2: Select pages again from ProBackup

  1. In ProBackup, go to Settings > Apps.

  2. Next to Notion, click Reconnect.

  3. Notion shows the list of pages. Select the pages you want ProBackup to back up and click Allow access.

Option 3: Manage access for the whole workspace (Notion Enterprise)

Workspace owners on the Notion Enterprise plan can manage all pages for the connection in one place:

  1. In Notion, go to Settings > Connections and open the Manage tab.

  2. Click ••• next to ProBackup and select Manage page access.

  3. Under Select pages, select the pages ProBackup should back up.

Notes

  • Pages ProBackup can no longer access are no longer updated in the backup. Earlier backups remain subject to your ProBackup retention period.

  • New pages you create inside a shared page are backed up automatically.
