How to restore Attio data

Written by ProBackup

This article explains which data types ProBackup can restore for Attio.

Records: Companies, People, Deals, ...

When you restore an Attio record, you have two options:

Option 1: Restore as new records

Creates a copy of the selected records in the related Attio object. This is the safest option and does not affect any existing Attio record. The notes, comments, files and list entries of the record are restored with it.

Option 2: Overwrite existing records

Updates existing records with the backed-up field values. Use this to roll back changes to a record that still exists in Attio. When you select Overwrite existing records, a field picker appears. Select which fields you want to overwrite.

Note: Overwriting is only possible for records that still exist in Attio. A deleted record can only be restored as a new record.

List entries

When you restore a list entry, the record is added back to its list. The list itself must still exist in Attio.

Notes

When you restore a note, a duplicate is created in your Attio account.

Tasks

When you restore a task, a duplicate is created in your Attio account.

Comments

When you restore a comment, it is added as a new comment thread on the record. The original author is kept only if they are still a member of your Attio workspace.

Files

When you restore a file, a duplicate is uploaded to your Attio account. Restored files are always stored in Attio, even if the original file lived in a connected drive.
