This article explains which data types ProBackup can restore for Airtable and any known limitations.

Tables

When you restore a table, a duplicate is created in the existing base. The restored table name includes a timestamp (e.g. "Table 1 (restored 2026-02-17 14:30:00)").

All records, comments, files, and field values are restored with the table.

Due to API restrictions, the following field types cannot be restored and will be skipped:

  • Formula

  • Rollup

  • Count

  • Lookup (multipleLookupValues)

  • AI text

  • Created time

  • Last modified time

  • Auto number

  • Created by

  • Last modified by

Note: If the original base no longer exists, create a new base named "ProBackupRestore" and try the restore again.

Records

When you restore a record, a duplicate is created in the related table. The following data is included: field values, comments, files, and relationships to other records.

Comments

When you restore a comment, a duplicate is created in the related record.

Files

When you restore a file, it is added to the related record.
